In moviewall, when focus on folder and press menu, a window with lock and watched icons appear, but you are not able to  select any action.
In moviewall, if have a 3 level folder structure, and you have files at every folder level, you can't play files from level 1 and 2, those files aren't displayed. You can play only the files that are in the last folder from that folder structure or better say, you can play files only if in that folder don't exist another folder with files. This happen in my case with tv series or movies trilogy's, when first part is in  first folder level and the rest of parts have their own folders in that folder.
 
Unexpected crashes, in media library, when focus on a folder and press play button. It doesn't happen every time, but i remarked much more after playing NTSC (29 or 30fps) and then 23.976fps movies. I don't know so sure, yet, what factors get to this behaviour, sience i was able to replicate this only twice in a row, but last night was happened for 5 times. i didn't remark this at earlier beta's.

Found random reboots when applying settings to fast. ( media wall when deselecting a folder and the x has not disappeared and you try scrolling)
In media wallonce you select a folder in the browser and then deselect it, it does not remove it from the media wall
Media wall is only 2 levels deep ( there is a second page which now works)

Just upgrade mine into V4B5 .. :)

- bug no [6] .divx and bdiso not playing from movie wall  Fixed in V4Beta5
  found out that, if any movie is play before BDISO, playing BDISO will play last movie, not BDISO.

  Reproduce : Start play BDISO in media library, then stop. goto videowall and play BDISO there, it works.
  Play another movie (any other than BDISO), stop it, goto videowall and play BDISO - it failed - Mede8er will
  play last movie instead of current BDISO.

Resume is off by the way, but if resume is on - resume confirmation dialog still bring mede8er to the last movie instead of BDISO.

Any other has this issue ?

There are only 2 rows in moviewall, this is correct. Maybe you misunderstood about moviewall supporting folders 3 levels deep i.e. \folder1\subfolder2\subfolder3 which is useful for TV series.

Nice work, but flashed back to 3.0.4. Sorry, but Version 4 is not working for me due to:

1] No PCM audio on on SPDIF /Co-Ax Digital. Extra notes from Dextro:
My receiver shows the sign PCM 32 or 48 (depending on the video I use) but only if the "Downmix 2 CH" setting is selected. Still no sound if a 2CH (Stereo only) video is played and the SPDIF "Passthough Multi CH" is selected.
This NO SOUND also applies to HDMI output. I mean, no matter which setting I would select for the HDMI ouput, If a Stereo video is played and "Passthrough Multi CH" is selected on the SPDIF no sound comes out through any output.

26] On mede8er start up my tv gives "unsupported audio format" message - happens no matter what audio setting I use. Connected to tv by hdmi [logged by Shamus] TV is a TV Sony Bravia KLV40V550A connected HDMI

35] (Intermittend): Some of my Divx movies have scratchy sound. Not all of them but some of them and they did not have it in previous versions. Using HDMI Passthrough. (logged by Ricardo).
Extra comment on this by MarioB: I've also noticed this. My audio setting is HDMI downmix. For example, if I play a Movie or TV Show and press skip on the remote sometimes after sound start to play again it's "scratchy" with a lot of noise. If I press pause and play again or skip, or jump to another location in the file everything is OK again. This happens randomly...

37] [Spdif sound]: when putting settings on spdif passtrough, music files are not decoding right. Getting a multi channel signal on 2 channel music files. When I want to play music I have to put te settings to downmix to get sound, when in passthrough setting I get digital hiss. When playing flac files with settings to digital passtrough works fine. When playing mp3 files does not work and have to switch settings to 2 channel downmix. Using passthrough gives digital noice/hiss. (logged by rolandvb) This might be related to bug [1].

41] Internet Radio by SPDIF "passtrough" worked fine in 3.04.  Now in 4B4  I have to set it to "downmix 2ch" to get sound when playing mp3 files on Internet radio.

42] HD Audio on DD+ unit: DTS-MA and TrueHD bitstream fine in BDMV (Blu-ray structure) or remuxed m2ts, though TrueHD is reported as MLP 2ch when pressing the in info button. (Onkyo displays DTS-MA and Dolby-TrueHD)
DTS-MA does not bitstream inside mkv container, only the DTS core is bitstreamed (Onkyo displays DTS).
TrueHD does not bistream inside mkv container and no audio is played back at all, not even Dolby Digital core.The audio is reported as an unsupported audio format.
Multichannel FLAC inside an mkv plays back as stereo.
(logged by djphatic)

46] [SPDIF]: When SPDIF on Passthrough Multi CH: When playing 2 Channel movies there is no sound. (logged by ThuNd3r)

47] Playlist format changed. Playlists made on 3.0.4 don't work on V4Beta4. HDD now needs to be HDD: (logged by 444YYY)

No sound on DivX movies, have to change settings to downmix which I do not have to do in 3.04.
