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