ShowMe TV 1.3 Known Problems

Software

ShowMe TV(TM) 1.3 contains support for MPEG2 movie playback. Support was dropped for the SunMedia Center in ShowMe TV 1.3. Also, ShowMe TV 1.3 contains a number of bug fixes over 1.2.1. Here is a list of 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 can not switch between CIF and QCIF H.261 streams (i.e. regular resolution, or 352x288 size frames, and low resolution,or 176x244 size frames) on non_Ultra systems.

• Mixing Asian and ASCII characters in one line of text can confuse the input/output functions in ShowMe TV. In particular, if a user sets up a transmission in which the transmission name and/or the hostname contain Asian characters, then saving/recovering these parameters to/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 (bug id# 4210702).
