Well the new version seems to have fixed most of the issues in the previous version - except one that I found -- in the prev. version 5 of the 8 shows offered in Comedy Central had issues

Now only "Drawn Together" seems to have a problem --- it seems as though one out of every 3 or 4 episodes won't play -- in the PBO I get an "Invalid file" message - in XBMC it tries to play - but then just kicks me back to the main list of eps. to choose from

I'm curious if anybody else is experiencing this in PlayOns' new version? - If I report it to PlayOns' support I would like to know in case they give me the old "I'm the only one" routine

btw - the first episode listed (A Tale of two cows) is one of the eps. that won't play

ok, I've updated and I am getting the same errors you describe using my pbo with this version of playon.
now ya know.
side comment is this is not good because comedy central is premium service we pay extra for and it should therefore work correctly. nothing premium about it at this point.

Thanks Lickity - I got a reply from PO support saying that the one episode I singled out (Tale of two cows) was not working on the Comedy Central website so the issue was w/CC -- and I confirmed it by going to CCs website and clicking on the 'tale of two cows' episode and the episode "Hot Tub" started to play

Plus the few other eps. I could not play was actually an issue with Boxee -- because when I played them in the PBO they worked fine

I was using Boxee to check them in because the PBO is sloooow to move from one ep. to another because it tries to play the episode before it will allow you to move on the the next one (in PMs' firmware) - I believe the 'other' firmware lets you jump from one to the next listing without having to wait for it to start playing

So it looks like PO might have gotten this version 'right' - but there's a lot more channels to check out before that statement's carved in stone
