A300 Bugs? and other stuff

[dimitrov2000us]

Days ago I bought my first A300. Before I had for almost two years C200
and sold it after PSU failure.

My first impressions are that A300 is much more stable and... better, in one word,
except some maybe "bugs" or maybe I'm doing something wrong...

1. PCM Audio at 96 - very distorted sound.
At least as a DVD Stream. I had no time to test it as a single audio file.
Setting: PCM Passthrough, receiver: DENON 2313

2. Lyrics button in Audio Player - useless?
Is there a way of showing lyrics of the currently played song? Embedded or as a separate file, whatever...
Maybe I'm doing something not the right way, but I tried with mp3 showing the embedded lyrics on all other
software players (Foobar, Itunes etc...)

3. Flac (mp3 too) - cover art in browser view not showing when flac (mp3) is selected. Frame stays empty.
It shows only after playin file in Player view. I don't know if its bug or intended...

4. Same like c200, when you watch several avi in sequence (TV series), after 5 or 6 sucsesfull jumps to next,
at jumping to the next episode player freezes and needs restart to recover.

5. Its not possible to change anymore subtitles size? All other options are there.

6. Final point: Is somebody considering of doing a decent movie and audio jukebox which is capable of doing
just one thing - show fullscreen gallery of cover art (cover in folder first and also download capability
if absent) and when you press the cover to play the movie file or album?
My appologies but the integrated jukebox is of no use at all, when you have huge collections music and movies
in different sources. It takes days to built database and the same when you refresh or change something. Not speaking
about wrong titles and covers and the pain of correcting it manually. I'm not a programmer, but how hard can be?

Thanks in advance for any help on these.

1. known issue looking into,

2.lyrics button does not do anything yet I think its a feature to come

3. Never used flac music player so not sure

4. AVI files are a huge pitfall for hardware players just because of the crappy encoders that were out there. Bad RIFF data can easily cause the player to fault

5. Take color off AUTO and see if you can adjust the size. Not all subtitle formats can be adjusted.

6. The only other jukebox for the A300 is yamj/eversion but its movies only, While it might not be hard it does take time, and most people dont use there PCH for music so not many people would make a music jukebox if they dont use it.

Regarding point 6 you might want to consider

It's not a jukebox but it does wonders getting your video info, covers and subs properly set up (including downloading info from IMDB and TVDB). I've used it ever since I bought the A-300, can't go without it!

Good luck!
