Roku TV licensing program expands into Europe
Roku has announced that it has expanded its Roku TV licensing program into Europe. This move will allow TV manufacturers to license Roku TV reference designs and use Roku OS. The firm will be hoping to expand its strong lead in the U.S. to the European market and has already announced that Hisense will begin selling Roku TV models in the United Kingdom during the fourth quarter.
According to the Roku press release, Hisense will bring affordable Roku TV models to the UK with screen sizes up to 65”. Roku says it’s now actively seeking manufacturers who are interested in developing their own Roku TV products. As Roku manages the entire software ecosystem on Roku TVs, customers will be assured of receiving frequent software updates which include new features.
Commenting on the expansion into Europe, Roku said:
“While consumers love Roku TV’s simplicity and advanced features, TV manufacturers benefit from the low cost of manufacturing, a variety of technology options, and support from Roku. The ability to quickly bring to market a leading smart TV experience that is regularly updated by Roku and is packed with entertainment gives TV manufacturers an edge in the competitive TV business. We are pleased to bring the Roku TV licensing program to Europe and look forward to the first Hisense Roku TVs in market this year.”
Like many companies, Roku is currently at IFA 2019 which runs from September 6 to September 11. Attendees can see the first Hisense Roku TV for Europe at Roku’s Booth #234, Hall 26 and at Hisense’s Booth #201, Hall 6.2. Prices and specifications for Hisense’s upcoming Roku TVs have not been announced yet but details will be released as we approach the date of their availability.

Translation and assisted setup modules in Dynamics 365 Business Central get improvements

Translation and assisted setup modules in Dynamics 365 Business Central get improvements


Last month, Microsoft revamped Dynamics NAV as a more modular solution, converting it to Dynamics 365 Business Central. The service was updated a few days ago to introduce new tools for data classification. Now, Business Central is getting improvements for both its translation module and its assisted setup module.
For those unaware, the translation module allows the adding and modification of language translations for user data. For example, this could be useful when selling items or explaining standard operating procedures in other regions. On the other hand, the assisted setup module holds all Business Central setup guides in one place, providing detailed guidance for the setting up of complex features.
Now, a new capability to identify fields for which to enable translations has been added in the former module. After this process, a calculated "Value" field can be displayed on the page to actually show the translated part. Notably, translations can only be added for persisted records on the database, not temporary ones.
As far as the assisted setup module is concerned, it now contains all assisted setup capabilities that were previously present in the Business Central service. Furthermore, discoverability of other guides is also being made easier; in case your extension used a guide to provide setup assistance, you can add that guide to this module.

Skype version 8.52 brings group call scheduling, better contact sharing

Skype version 8.52 brings group call scheduling, better contact sharing
Microsoft is rolling out a new update to Skype on all platforms, bringing the version number to 8.52. The latest release includes a few new features depending on what platform you're on. First, there's the ability to schedule group calls, which is available for Skype on both desktop and mobile devices.
For desktop users, it's also now possible to share a contact with someone by dragging them from the contact list and into the conversation. Rather than immediately adding them as a member of the conversation, Skype will now ask you if you want to add the contact to the conversation, or simply share the contact information with the other user. As for Android and iOS, the app now supports the system-wide dark mode on the latest versions of both systems - Android 10 and iOS 13.
This release also includes a number of smaller improvements, most of them focused on the Split View UI on desktop devices. Here's the list:
  • conversation window sizes and positions remembered in Split View
  • ability to move and resize your video preview during a video call in Split View
  • focus in composer after opening the conversation in Split View
  • indication of new messages in the individual conversation windows in Split View
  • minimized windows are restored when a conversation is activated from recent chats or the call monitor window in Split View
  • grouped notifications on Android
The update is dated for September 16, though the changelog has only been published today. As such, it's possible you've already received this update, but if you haven't, it should be rolling out in the coming days.
