15. NEW: Left clicking a playing video will toggle the pause state (except blu-ray because the menu needs the clicks).

I stumbled across this feature which confused me, as my movie kept "freezing" when I was accessing and dismissing menus.
My real confusion stemmed from the fact there is no feedback that the video has gone into pause. i.e. the pause button does not change state to a play button and there is no on screen display to say you have entered pause in the same way you see when pausing by other means.

We'll fix that. Thanks.

13. Changed: MC2XML EPG option is removed from TV setup.

It seems like this might warrant an explanation of some sort for those who have been using the feature...

We believed it wasn't available any longer.  Please start a thread if you know something we don't.

Using 'Preview Mode' set to Play 30 second preview from 30 seconds in

song change process appears to trigger view scheme Artist column to pop back to 'All Artists' thus interrupting my scrolling, this activity ceased when Preview Mode was disabled.
