Apple has released Apple TV Software Update 4.2.2, the latest software update for its second-generation set-top box. Apple has yet to update its Apple TV software update support page, so it is unclear what bug fixes or other improvements might be included in the update. Apple TV Software Update 4.2.2 is available now via the device’s software update feature.

Note that the “Movie Description” fix is actually a reversion to pre-4.2 behaviour of only using the standard “short” description field. This will actually help users who encode their own videos and haven’t been using the “Long Description” field, but is actually a step backward for those of us who are using this field, including those purchasing content from the iTunes Store (much of which sadly includes an oddly-truncated standard description field).
