[KNOWN ISSUES BY COMPONENT]

Below is in basic priority order.  For a complete listing and explanation of the Components, see Bugzilla OSD

Firmware - Basic Multimedia Functionality - Can't fast forward to the end of ASF files that have length more than one hour.   iPods cannot play long MP4 files to the end.   You can use iPod with different iTunes versions on the OSD.  Occasionally, Record will prompt 'no storage exist, can't record'  Please continue to give us your repeatable issues and files that don't play properly!


Firmware - Networking and Streaming - Supports Linux, Windows 2000 and Windows XP (if you set the shared folder’s permissions as 'Share with Everyone' and allow full change/edit permissions). OSD can browse shares on Windows Vista.  uPnP shares can be accessed, although development is not complete.


Removable Media/USB - MPEG-2 files have playback issues over USB (particuliarly high bitrate ones, such as those from DVDs). Some MMC card aren't supported to update from Uboot.


IR receiver/Blaster - IR receiver is working. IR Blaster Interface has been implemented and has been modified to inform users whether they have "learned" all keys.


Firmware - Scheduler/Electronic Programming Guide - EPG not implemented yet.  Basic time and channel scheduler has been implemented. Nerochiaro is working on EPG.


Firmware - User Interface - A more functional GUI has been included in this release.  A new Video Editor (combined with video player) is included.   Recording settings are simpler for mainstream users.


Firmware - Miscellaneous - Host of mostly minor issues remain. Console doesn't work properly. Some new functions have been added in "Coming Soon".

Firmware - Audio Player/Recorder - Xmms2 was implemented. It supports mp3, aac, m4a, flac, ogg, and wma audio files in this release;   The player can fast forward/rewind by holding down these keys. Background playback has been enabled.  Playqueue support has also been implemented.


Multimedia Framework/Neuros API -API requests will be fielded as they come.  Primary focus is on OSDMain Refactoring.  Make sure to attend the IRC meetings.
