New Update on Sony Android TV

by m00nh34d

So, got prompted to install a new update today, any idea what this does? Been trying to find some release notes or anything, but there's nothing out there about it!

If you installed it, go to Settings -> About and see what version of Android it shows; I'm curious. I'm at work, otherwise I'd check myself.

Must be the HDR+ update and bug fixes. Marshmallow can't come this soon.

Are you sure its new? Is it different from the package version listed here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=XBR55X850C&LOC=3#/downloadTab

Still 5.1.1, although the Guide has improved with responsiveness, UI seems a tad smoother; other than that nothing major. I'm hoping Sony releases Marshmallow soon enough.

I think it might be this: http://androidtv.news/2015/10/sony-tvs-get-update-but-no-marshmallow/

Tl;dr: Netflix support for 5.1 Surround Sound HDMI Lip Sync Issues Green Screen Displayed Increased responsiveness

Probably Marshmallow 6.0. Main feature is using external storage for apps.
