Thanks

• 1080p playback is not smooth for all files, but has improved since the first release. At present, the ATV2 can decode 1080p video, it is limited by frontrow to outputting 720p video. Improvements in this area will focus on achieving smooth playback of 1080p files at 720p output. Though 1080p output may be possible, it is not a priority at the moment. To see if you can really benefit with 1080p output, please consult this chart
  
  
  
• Hardware decoding is for h264 only. As a result, 720p XviD, WMV and other HD encodings stutter. SD should work fine. (thanks nmat)
  
  
  
• MMS streams do not work (thanks keith)
  
  
  
• large MKV files packaged with subtitles in the container can crash XBMC unless subtitles are disabled (thanks candyman2000)
  
  
  
• There is currently no control over display characteristics, e.g. autoswitching refresh rate 24/50/60 Hz (thanks acidduck)
  
  
  
• Interlacing is disabled on mpeg2. (maybe more??) No easy short-term fix. (thanks keith)
  
  
  
• Video_TS.IFO will play in file mode, but not in library mode (thanks dtviewer)
  
  
  
• Video_TS playback will not work if menus are included in addition to video files, unless played from a local source (thanks neohusky and this thread, and newsilentsilver)
  
  
  
• ISO playback does not work
  
  
  
• Although not universal, a significant number of users are reporting difficulty in streaming video over SMB - there are numerous threads on the subject, use the forum search for further info (thanks haffi)
  

• AC3 Audio can stutter and pause video. Generating Thumbnails is the culprit, go into Settings > Video > File and deselect 'extract thumbnails and video information'. Fix is in mainline, not atv2 branch yet. Also some are experiencing static with this enabled, regardless of Generate Thumbs selected or not. (thanks keith)
  
  
  
• incorrect downmixing of audio - front channels downmixed to right stereo channel, rear channels downmixed to left stereo channel (thanks nukedeath)
  
  
  
• volume control and muting do not do anything (thanks Gooki)
  
  
  
• special note on AC3/DTS issues from Memphiz:
  "The whole sound passthrough story (AC3, DTS) seems very specific to the used components. [...] there are definitly issues, but they don't appear for all constellations. There are some solutions which work for some components in the FAQ thread."
  

• SSA and ASS subtitles do not display on hardware decoded videos (thanks Thewolf)
  
  
  
• Visualiser is not working (thanks keith). Visualizations are not on the todo list
  
  
  
• No karaoke settings. No CDG support (thanks drjt)
  

• The performance of XBMC's interface is improved over the original release. It is not clear at the moment if it has been fully optimised, or if there is still room for improvement that warrants this being an "issue" (thanks nmat for original info)
  
  
  
• Navigation sounds are disabled (thanks nmat) but should be fixed when AudioEngine gets merged into trunk, there's no ETA and don't ask for one
  
  
  
• 'Glassy' reflections seen in many of the skins are not working properly as diffusing isn't currently working properly under OpenGL ES (thanks TwisTz)
  
  
  
• Screen appears to be incorrectly calibrated on some iPhone and iPads (probably to do with screen rotation - try launching with iDevice orientated in landscape) (thanks jerkychew)
  

• Library scanning / scraping can cause xbmc to crash and/or the scraper itself to crash. Turn off 'Generate Thumbnails'; go into Settings > Video > File and deselect 'extract thumbnails and video information'. (thanks keith)
  
  
  
• Scanning of remote music stalls on folders containing .m4a files (see this thread, fix coming in next release thanks to Memphiz)
  
  
  
• Movies contained in folders (e.g. Video_TS) do not display thumbnails/posters in file mode (thanks dtviewer)
  
  
  
• MySQL can be used to centralize the XBMC library (useful when you have multiple XBMC devices)
  

• Rolling repeat button presses not working from remote control - i.e. scrolling through menus by holding down a direction button (thanks bwelton - via another thread)
  
  
  
• Keyboard using an eventclient like XBMC Remote on iPhone doesn't seem to work. (thanks keith)
  
  
  
• With Bluetooth keyboards, some keys dont work. (Shift-R in library mode wont take to the R's for example) This will require a refactoring so no fix in the short term. (thanks keith)
  
  
  
• no support for third party remotes. Will be coming in future releases (see this thread). Update: there is some support for Logitech Harmony remotes - please see FAQ (below)
  
  
  
• touch scroll gestures not handled by XBMC yet (i.e. ability to flick through lists rather than use scroll bars)
  

• Time is incorrect - see here for a fix
  
  
  
• Last.fm submissions are temperamental (thanks keith)
