The tipster claims that Samsung simply replaced the XML file on June 27, 2020, so any Blu Ray devices that connected to the internet from that date and later aren’t running the risk of getting bricked.

Still, Samsung hasn’t responded to the Register story, so all of this is unofficial. This explanation makes sense since if the problem was with the SSL certificates, Samsung could roll out a firmware update and fix the issue. The reason why users were so surprised by this is that they never saw an update request, were never asked if it’s ok to download the XML policy file, and never even realized this had taken place. Therefore, only a mail repair program could address the issue. Since this file is a log policy file, the device is supposed to parse it during boot, so not being able to parse it means getting stuck in a boot loop.Įven if Samsung pushed an update to the device, it would make no difference since they cannot tap into the boot partition remotely. It comes with a remote which allows for voice search and has 2 physical speed dial buttons to Sling and Netflix. The AirTV Player is available beginning today for $129 with a bundled OTA adapter or $99 for the player itself.The XML file contains an empty list element, but the affected devices aren’t able to handle this element, so the result is a crash.

The AirTV also supports 4K streaming, so if you’re subscribed to a service that offers 4K content, you can enjoy nice, sharp, clear picture. And because AirTV Player is supported by Android TV, you get instant access to a world of content and apps through Google Play. Now you can get all the content you love, like Sling TV, over-the-air (OTA) local channels, Netflix, and more, on one simple and familiar platform. However, the OTA channels are still separate from your Sling TV subscription, giving you the ability to choose your monthly Sling TV package based on the cable channels included.ĪirTV Player integrates your streaming services in one place. In addition, over-the-air television stations are also available for your viewing pleasure. It’s made with the idea of integrating everything, so your OTA channels are in the same channel guide. Out of the box, Sling TV, Netflix and YouTube are preinstalled, but since its running on Android TV, you can install everything you want.
