Apple slips out Apple TV 2.0.1 update

Preparing the Apple TV's viewers for the weekend, Apple on Friday night patched its media hub to version 2.0.1.

The fix, available through the Apple TV's own update utility, is not documented by the company and appears primarily to be a maintenance update.

However, a preliminary discovery reveals a Genres category under My Movies, letting owners browse by type.

The download represents the first minor upgrade to the Apple TV's firmware since February's Take 2 overhaul introduced a completely redesigned interface as well as support for iTunes movie rentals and streaming podcasts.

I haven't updated mine yet, but let's hope it fixes the sluggishness in the menus.

Same thing I was thinking. Browsing "My Movies" is very slow with 2.0

It looks like the periodic freezes are still happening, although after upgrading, I saw a "Syncing with iTunes... Please Wait" dialog.

Also, it would appear as though the genres selection only refers to purchasable movies; not ones already in your collection.

I don't seem to have that problem with 2.0, I wonder why some folks do? I have not updated this latest patch yet. I just wish Apple could get a few more HD movies up there soon.

All my movies show up under their genres.
