Not big issues with the HD Extender - But !

[parkimar]

I got my firmware updates, upgraded Sage to latest and got the new SageMC STV.

Fired it all up (Sage Server has been in a box in the basement for last 7 months due to house move - now we have big ass basement and FP !!!).

Followed all the setups - mostly great .............. But.

When I have a box version of a video playing (e.g. I was watching a movie and went back to the main menu, the film carries on playing in the bottom left of the screen) - However I don't see a mini version of the movie - I see a cropped section of the movie instead - anyone else see this ?

Also - I have several .mp4 movies encoded using Nero with AAC audio.
Whilst they play , there is no Rear sound coming out from my surround sound (PLM output according to my receiver) - Does anyone know how to get a pseudo surround out of this ? (They were encoded as 5 channel surround initially and I used to use FFmpeg Audio to make a surround sounding output of them).

No biggies - just wondering if anyone knows ?


Cheers

I have seen this to and would like to know if it is normal?

I only get it for DVD's.
For AVI's , etc it does show me a mini movie in the preview pane.

None of the firmware updates seem to have fixed it.

Im running SageMC and latest Sage on the server (The one released at the weekend),
