New Hotfix out for Chupacabra

Hey folks,

We just pushed out a new hotfix for Chupacabra. It's mainly bug fixes and optimizations, but most of them came from reports in this forum (for example, "free download" showing instead of "launch" on favorited sideloaded games, and not being able to navigate screenshots in fullscreen with the analog stick. Keep the feedback coming! =) The list of changes is:

“Chupacabra” Hotfix #1:

• Sideloaded games in PLAY now say “(U) Launch” instead of “(U) Free Download”
• You can now navigate screenshots by pressing left and right while fullscreen
• Fixed an issue where external drives were showing less available space than they actually had
• Fixed an issue where recommended games weren’t showing in the launcher
• Fixed an issue where the BUY button wasn’t going away for games after redeeming a voucher
• Fixed an issue where downloading to external storage after a search could display a game title as “null”
• Fixed an issue where Developer pages could show a blank twitter handle
• Other various small fixes and optimizations

Thanks for all the support!

great news, thanks Ouya staff! :)

Awesome thanks. Only thing is, now custom launchers don't get priority when exiting an app or holding the menu button. Good to know you guys are on top of it though : D

Woohoo, moar updates!

Excellent.

Hey kitsune. Why are the prices next to the BUY button away again? I really liked that.

This is the reason why OUYA support team is too good!

secondly kitsune, is it possible to add a "sleep mode" say example we have the app (rain) on and we want to relax till we fall asleep knowing OUYA will have a timer shutdown? that would be awesome!

Nice catch! That was a misconfigured flag on our deploy. I've set it correctly again and it should propagate shortly (or you can reboot to get it immediately)

Exquisite.

thanks kitsune! :)

oh, every update thread becomes a feature wishlist one. Can I then have date and time in the upper-right corner when no app is running? to know the time between a game and another :D

Damn hotfix breaks ALL mod applications :(

EDIT: Wait... dont take that at face value...testing now

EDIT Again: If you're rooted, root again. Even if the app says that you are rooted, that's not true. It's a false positive. Until you root again, all mods will be wonky.

How about when you look at the developer of a game their other games show up too as icons.

EDIT: I see that some games have a developer section and some don't. Anyone know why?

Nice update! There's only one little thing missing - the MUTE / UNMUTE label (U button still works so it's no big deal)

For this, we actually intentionally just moved it down into the button legend - we felt having it over the video was less than ideal since it could block seeing things =)

I love the hotfix and it's more of an update in itself because of all the goodies.

I don't know what you're talking about. I've just tried The Dark Knight Rises game which requires root and MOGA mod and it works like a charm.

oh, you are right! well how-dee, it's supposed to be there, so that is a bug. We'll get it fixed =)

I may have a bug to report if I can replicate it. I'll post about it later.

I had a bug before this hotfix with issues with the icons for installed, installed to external, FREE, and FREE* that is still there.

I have always stored everything externally but some times it shows that it is stored internally. This isn't entirely new with this update or hotfix. It just randomly happens every once in a while and the fix for me is just moving it back and forth to get the icon right. But after this update there is a cause that isn't random and happens every time. When I reboot the system after it is done scanning I notice that the games from featured that are on screen show as stored internally when they are really stored externally. If I scroll I notice it hasn't done it to the others. It is only the ones that I first see as if the scan messed them up.

For the FREE and FREE*, I noticed that they aren't always correct either. Something I liked about the updates in Play is the categories that are automatically sorted like purchased and A-Z. So, I decided to use favorites like that because I didn't know what to do with it because a big chunk of my favorites are automatically in purchased. So, I decided to make it all the games that are completely free with the FREE icon because I felt that FREE and FREE*(And maybe the premium games in there too) should get their own categories like purchased and either self organize like Play originally did or maybe based on what I contributed to the O-Rank to put what I engaged either last or engage the most up front. It would be a way to automatically sort out games that I am trying out but have yet to purchase to move them to the purchased folder and then the FREE section would be like my "pack-in-games" that can obviously never move to purchased. The reason for that is sometimes I may be looking to shop or just play something that is completely free. An example scenario for playing completely free would be if my nieces come over but I not interested at the time to purchase anything for them to play so I would either send them to purchased games or my "pack-in-games". Anyway, since the completely free games can never be moved to purchased I decided to put them all in favorites as my "pack-in-games". I was also curious how many there are relative to the FREE* ones and just to see if two separate Play categories would be justified(There are almost 300 FREE games). With this update I decided to finally switch to my white OUYA even though I will unfortunately not be able to transfer my save data(I hope there is eventually a solution to this). Therefore I was downloading all of Discover again. What I did was all of the FREE* games I would just use U to download without looking at the details and all the ones that were FREE I would download from the details to be able to favorite. As I was doing it a few times I went into FREE ones but still saw the *Includes in-app purchases and/or the buy button. So, some of the FREE games are really FREE* games and I suspect it is the same the other way around but the FREE* games I had no reason to look in details to click the favorite button.

Anyway, those are my two biggest gripes because they display inaccurate information. I have much more positive feedback and constructive criticism but I will save those for another time because I'm wordy. I'll give one for now though. I think favorite and unfavorite should have a ? mark after them. Sometimes I forget that favorite is a question and think I marked it as a favorite.

The bug fix in this for displaying recommendations I thought was a feature instead of a bug because the system menu on the main screen no longer had ittle Dew, Clark(with the old tile), and Knightmare Tower every time. They are back. :)

This was the issue I was going to replicate. It seemed to have fixed itself from my end from what little I can tell but just putting it out there that I encountered this issue too.

Oh, I forgot to mention I don't get FREE or FREE* labels at all in DISCOVER. Are you A-B testing again?

Right after the update, I realised that 300 Mb of internal storage had mysteriously been filled with something.
I go to /cache and what do I see ? A 200 MB file named "ouya-update.zip.reserved_do_no_delete".
@kitsune : You should have put this into the changelog.
What is it for ? Can I delete it as I sometimes need as much internal storage I can possibly get for sideloading reasons.

"Finish him!" Great work team OUYA thank youuuu!!!

It's easy for me to replicate it because I conquered Discover. :) It is still there because after the update it rebooted and the three Sonic games and Rubble N Strafe now show that they are stored internally. You could try downloading those four to external and reboot to see if it happens to you.

I get them in the genres but not on Discover's main screen. I think they should be on the main screen with the update symbol removed for the games that go premium by putting the price there. Technically it is an update but it is confusing because it makes you think it is a download update instead of sending you to the purchase screen.

FREE without asterisk means completely free.
FREE with asterisk should mean that the game is free-to-try, but has in-app purchases (full unlock or other type of free-to-play)

Oh I see, I never browse categories so I missed it. Strange that it shows up there but not on the main page.
Yeah, the update-to-go-premium thing is kind of messed up.

Also, related to the external/internal bug when I move them sometimes the ring stops spinning, it freezes, and requires a reboot. It just happened with Sonic CD.

sideloaded apps in play launching with U is a great fix, was not expecting that until the next big update.

You can actually get this functionality back by overwriting the current OUYALauncher.apk with an older one. I hit the same wall and use this to fix it. If ya need a copy let me know and I'll put it up somewhere for ya, as long as OUYA does not mind that is.

Any chance my pull request got added to the update?

Yes, this is a big issue for me, too.

Also, it doesn't seem to show when an app or have was last updated anymore in the app/game description.

Weird. Maybe they took it off cause the newly updated section?

Is there a prompt to install the update again or will it auto start like the last time? when I was inserting my usb stick :miserable:

It should ask. I was derping through the menu spamming buttons and it popped up lol.

Just go to System > Advanced > System Update.

Hi to all,

Last night started my OUYA baby and I was surprised by the message "upgrade available" .

Well, go with that , I thought and downloaded it, surprised by the short time between this update and Chupacabra.

Once finished (with no problem) I looked at this forum and I find a message which says that the update responds in many ways to the request of users , which leads me to ask the following:

It's really good that OUYA´s people work so hard based on the feedback received from users ?

I appreciate that they listen to us so closelly and as a user of Wii and Playstation still amazes me they respond so well and quickly (well, that they respond in any way).
But having worked several years in one manufacturer of CCTV products that also did the same (IndigoVision) I realized that working "On demand" does not always ends up being positive.

For many years IndigoVision has prepared its software and hardware roadmap according to what customers required, the engineering team pushed the hardware and software to do things that was beyond the posibilities, errors arised and the system started to miss some really market driving capabilities just because the engineers was busy doing what customers asked. That resulted in an obsolete product compared with the mainstreet, severe lost years they was, until they decided to focus on the real problem, started to work tied to a concrete - well planified road map with real objectives and real time deadlines and not in patch the system to do what people needed.

is obvious that the general improvements benefit all of us, teh guys of OUYA still walks in the right direction and in this forum i see many brilliant ideas that we could or couldn´t see implemented some day, but in the other hand i see many requirements of the type " I would like you support my joystick XXX" or "The U button MUST go up, or down, or..." and this take away valuable developers time. So its well spended time?

The fact that the OUYA is based in Android is extremelly good and extremelly bad for many reasons, so may be OUYA developers would spend the time making the console do what is expected, what do tou think?

Before all you yell at me, I was tempted too many times and I have complained about things like MOGA support , so i not try to evangelize anyone.

But i really believe in OUYA and open source and therefore would not want to see it ending as a failed experiment.

What are you saying?:numbness:

...I honestly have no idea what you're saying, or if you're asking a question, or if you have a concern.

Me the whole time reading this:
