PS: The "duplicated thumbnail bug" (2 thumbnails are shown for videos when browsing files through network) is NOT fixed ;)

+ audio going out of sync when using 23,976Hz + digital audio output isn't fixed either :p

Hi Monkeyface,

Just wondering, does the duplicated thumbnail bug occur when browsing folders that have "folder.jpg" in them, or is it when your files are organized with something like:
batman - the dark knight.mkv
batman - the dark knight.jpg

Or does is occur in both situations? :-)

[edit]: the AC3 audio goins oos when using digital also happens on the players using sigma 864x chips (C-200 for sure, a couple reports on bd prime too), seems like Sigma Designs has this bug on their whole range of new chip SDKs :/

I know that the "bug" definitely occurs when you have...

batman - the dark knight.mkv
batman - the dark knight.jpg

..but I don't know if it happens with folder.jpg, too!

new firmware 1.01.12!!!!


Western Digital took the 12/03/09 firmware 1.01.12 down because it caused MASS BRICKING!
Nobody knows exactly what was responsible for it and there is also no solution for it yet!!!

This is how it looks on the TV after the update:
