ShowMe TV 1.3 Known Problems

ShowMe TV 1.3 software contains support for MPEG2 movie playback. Support was dropped for the Sun MediaCenter™ in ShowMe TV 1.3. Also, ShowMe TV 1.3 software contains a number of bug fixes over ShowMe TV 1.2.1. Here are some known problems:

• There are various minor problems with playing MPEG1/2 files: Zoom does not work on some frame-buffers, the position indicator is not accurate enough, the frame-by-frame step back function does not work.

• You cannot switch between CIF and QCIF H.261 streams (that is, regular resolution, or 352x288 size frames, and low resolution, or 176x244 size frames) on systems that are not Ultras.

• Mixing Asian and ASCII characters in one line of text can confuse the input/output functions in ShowMe TV software. In particular, if a user sets up a transmission in which the transmission name or the hostname contains Asian characters, then saving or recovering these parameters to or from the .showmetv-programs-hostname configuration file might not work correctly.

• The receiver's buttons and menus contain incorrect text in locales other than English (bugID 4210702).
