Video application in iOS5

[Tehpsyc]

Can anyone out there with an iPad running iOS5 beta take a look at the video application and see if they've made any improvements, particularly when browsing media libraries not saved locally on the iPad. I'm using home sharing to access a large movie and tv library on my desktop and it seems like the app is buggy and doesn't display items in order. It also shows duplicates of some shows.

Anyway I'm just curious if they're trying to improve this. The remote application works great when displaying all my content just the native videos app doesn't seem to be as up to date.

Thanks

It runs with a good amount of lag for transitions when compared to iOS 4. The entire home sharing setup is quite buggy right now too which is expected for a beta. I wouldn't say there have been any improvements as of right now. Maybe we will see some by the time the final build comes out.

Home Sharing doesn't even appear on my iPhone or iPad's video app!! do you have to have a video on there already? as i have none.
