Some more findings, non-video related, for this Vizio model:
- it does not play flac files - no surprise.
- non-ASCII characters in Album, Artist, or Name cause the unit to produce an empty list. Would it be possible to have an option to map these to standard ASCII equivalents?
- a container which returns more than 87 to 89 items results in an empty list.
- Yanking MC out from under the Vizio (e.g. changing DLNA settings) can cause it to crash and shutdown.
- The content of some albums returned is wrong. Drilling into a Grateful Dead album, tracks from a Dido album are returned. In my tests here, I am using rules to limit which albums are returned by the DLNA server.
- The Vizio is peculiar in that it asks what media type you want (Music, Video, Photo), but then once you select any, it presents you with the MC presented root containers. If you pick Music or Video, you get a list view, whereas Photos gives you a larger folders view. But it will only show content of the chosen type.
