Now Playing lost after yesterday firmware upgrade until reboot

[dwilliams01]

Now Playing menu option was completely missing after finally getting yesterdays firmware to install. The now playing screen saver didn't ever activate, either. You could still pick the Now Playing screen saver, though.

After doing an additional restart the Now Playing menu option returned and the Now Playing screen saver started working again.

Not sure if this was just a one time result of a flacky upgrade or a startup/upgrade timing bug that should be filed/fixed. Anyone else have a similar problem?

I forced another firmware upgrade (mine always says that one is available but I saw someone else say that if they have the most recent it doesn't update, odd...) and after it installed (same firmware version r1628 from Friday) and restarted the Now Playing was lost until a second reboot again.

I'm not complaining too much since it seems to be upgrading OK and others are having apparently much more difficulty, but just in case this is related to anything else I thought that I'd mention that I duplicated it again.

Any ideas why it was still trying to do the Friday firmware instead of a later one as well? Every time I upgrade SC7 it seems to pull down new firmware for a day or so then it stops??

Well, I'm still seeing this after firmware updates. I logged it under this bug.
