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).
