Andreas Oman has returned with yet another Showtime Media Center Test build for us to try. As usual, it features a bunch of tiny fixes for all platforms!

Its developer works tirelessly to improve with each release, and that is exactly what's occurred with this latest test build. The changes are too numerous to list off, but they include improved HTTP file access as well as a slew of small crash fixes. Check out the full rundown below and at the source!
