Second gen Roku media streamers should be seeing a software update the next time they're powered up, as a company blog post mentions v4.3 is rolling out right now, following the last update that hit [back in December][3]. The [Roku 2][4] and [Roku LT][5] should experience a variety of improvements to Netflix streaming that include video startup, screen navigation, audio / video sync and settings for subtitles and audio. There's also upgrades to HTTP Live Streaming format support (no word on how or if that may affect [Plex][6], but forum posters report an issue with standard def video quality is still a problem after the update), multiple gaming remotes and device discovery for remote apps on [Android][7] and [iOS][8]. As usual it will be delivered automatically over the next day or two, while the impatient can hit their settings menu to grab it right now.
[Roku 4.3 update tweaks Netflix, device discovery issues][2] originally appeared on [Engadget][9] on Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:58:00 EDT. Please see our [terms for use of feeds][10].
