Knwon issues,
Video Issues:
1. When Auto Switch is set for NTSC/24Hz, 24Hz files may not output through HDMI with some display devices.
2. For some MKV files, TVIX crashes when it is played from bookmark.
3. For MKV files having FLAC and OGG audio stream, the audio is muted.
4. For some MKV files, the subtitles displayed are not in sync
5. For some TS files, resuming normal playback after fast forward playback, leads to muting of the audio.
6. For some TP files, the audio stutters and sometimes crash is also observed.
7. For TS, TP, M2TS and MTS files, fast backward playback is not supported.
8. Play an M2TS file with DTS HD master audio.
When DTS audio setting is digital, HDMI audio is ON and HD audio passthrough is set to ON, then audio is not heard on the SPDIF output.
For the same setting, if HDMI audio is set to OFF, then audio is HEARD on the SPDIF output.
Audio Issues:
1. If you play files with HD audio tracks like Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD MA or LPCM, you’d better turn on HD Audio pass through on the setup even though you don’t have a receiver that supports decoding of these formats. Otherwise, you will hear strange noise with some repetitive popping noise. Currently, TVIX doesn’t support core decoding, if you don’t have a HD audio decoder receiver, you need to select other than above HD audio track.
2. Some of the AAC files are not being played back.
3. MP4A files are not being played back
4. For some APE and OGG files, the audio is muted
5. For MP3 files with low sampling frequency, the TVIX crashes on playback from a specified time.(GOTO playback)
6. For MP3 files with low sampling frequency, the TVIX crashes on fast forward playback
ETC Issues:
1. USB icon continues to display even after disconnecting DVD-ROM USB drive from TVIX. Then clicking on the USB icon leads to crash of TVIX.
