Only layout is being looked at. New data on scrape has to be generated, and decoding media content would be a significant CPU load. The CPU normally dumps that task on the codec chip, and waits for an error if its its unsupported.

Thanks - already noticed this but did not want to hold this beta up for this. Will fix it.

Besides of this small fault i found another small fault in the german translation for the corresponding item in the settings. 'Scraper Layout' was translated to 'Vertikale Ansicht', which is completely nonsense in german language, especially the word 'vertikale'. Because layout is also a common name in german, it should be better to use the english expression. Its hard to find a useful german name, in alternative may be 'Filminfo Ansicht', but i would prefer the english version as in many other items...

And bye the way, Merry christmas and gratulations for all your good work!  :)

With regards playing music, I've noticed for the last couple of updates seem to have a minor bug in the screensaver.
I use the tagscanner script putting the year in the album title in brackets.
It used to work, and sometimes still does.
The first few songs seem to be alright, them it goes back to displaying the basic name.
Come out of screensaver, and back into it again, and it's OK for a couple of songs again.
Thanks for listening.

Are they mp3?  Screen saver will revert mp3 tag  extraction if its available.

Thanks for replying jer1956.
Yes, all mp3's.
I thought the screensaver used the title script, as shown in the Media centre favourites list though.
I used "<album>%artist% (%year%) %album%</album>"
Sometimes the screensaver just misses the year out.

Do a scrape edit. Is there a duration value found for that movie? If not, put one in.

Hi all, i tried to update the firmware today on my med6003D and the med stack. Actually i applied the emergency procedure to restore defaults and now it is stack again after 30min. Is this normal? Of course i have to admit that i have not updated it for a year. Is it normal for the update process to last that long?

It should take some 5 minutes max.
Did you check if you had latest bootloader?  If not install that first as described in the fw release notes.
And be sure to format the usb stick fat32 before using it to update.

Are you using a pc to format the usb stick?  It normally always has the option to choose fat32.
