Stream - New software?

[I WANT MORE]

One of my Osprey boxes received this new look. It looks similar to other android devices with the menu along the left margin.
All of my other boxes and the streaming apps still have the old look.
Has anyone else see this?
Why would it be only on one of my devices? I've tried updating the others but it does not change.

That looks similar to the streaming app.

More than likely, there an update going out, that box got the update 1st, the others will get it when it hits thier box numbers.

All the streaming devices I use have the “old” look.

I love the new look UI. Its fantastic. I wish it was on the satellite boxes too or at least the satellite gemini boxes.

Same. I wish it was on all of my boxes. Still on only one.

Don’t have it here on either box yet but I saw it in the community room (our apt complex has directv stream included in rent)

 

[raoul5788]

My stream still looks the same.

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

Mine does too. I even tried checking the D* app on my Roku for updates and it said it was up to date.

 

[raoul5788]

Can anyone post the new version number? Mine shows 5.0.55.2002080168

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

On my Roku, it just says 3.34, build 3710103.
Not sure what device you’re using to stream, but I’m assuming it’s the Osprey box.

I'm using the app.

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

Yeah, but what device? It might vary depending on that.

Any chance they fixed the HDR issue of always on or off instead of based on whether the signal contained HDR content or not?

I dont think they plan to change it. It seems that the way they have the software designed
