changes the rohtmlwidget flushcachedresources() method has been fixed this method has not worked in any of the previous 6 0 releases improvements players will now play media files from a usd or msata storage device if it does not contain a presentation file ( autorun brs ) if an hdmi monitor is connected to the player after it boots up (i e an hdmi hotplug event occurs), the player will reboot and switch to the preferred video mode of that monitor if it's different from the current mode this only occurs if the force resolution box has not been checked or if there is no brightauthor presentation on the card if a storage drive is in use, the format storage option in the diagnostic web server (dws) no longer allows attempts to format it the following objects now support decryption of encrypted image files roimagewidget , rocanvaswidget , rovideoplayer , roclockwidget , rotextwidget the changes to the "auto" video mode in firmware 6 0 41 have been reverted a player set to "auto" now uses the

2 2 input mode we will re enable these modes once the ycbcr 4 2 2 input mode is fixed a player that has its video mode set to "auto" will now accept the preferred mode (dtd) of an attached monitor if this mode is supported by the player previously, a player set to "auto" would always use the highest resolution mode reported by both the screen and player, which may be different from the preferred
