v6 Placeshifter problems

I'm having a problem with Placeshifter in v6. It works properly for SageTV recordings and Google video. However, when you try to play an MP3, the file doesn't play and the play time indicator goes to -00:00.

I'm also unable to view imported videos (ripped DVD's) from Placeshifter. It seems like it's supposed to work in Placeshifter v6, because all the options are there. However, the file is not played and all that shows up is the DVD title bar and a black screen where the video should be playing.

If I log into the server (headless, service mode) I see a SageTV Placeshifter .exe crashed error box.

Inidividual VOB files (or multiple files in a playlist) may play on the Placeshifter, but not DVDs w/menus. Maybe that's an issue: ripped DVDs even being listed on the Placeshifter?

Does this mean that DVD playback w/ menus is only available on Client and MVP installations?

Right -- just the Placeshifter cannot play DVDs w/menus.

Is that a bug or by design? Will Placeshifter be upgraded to play DVDs w/menus?

thanks!

Oh man! That's a potential deal breaker for me. Andy, can you confirm if this is a planned feature that just hasn't been implemented yet, or is it a hard 'no go'?

I "was" getting a PepperPad 3 strictly for use with the Linux placeshifter, but if it won't play back my imported DVD's then I have to radically change plans. Perhaps it could be improved to allow DVD playback only when no transcoding is involved (ie, local network ONLY), that would be just fine.

Please, if possible Andy, get a confirmation...?

Sorry, but I have no plans to make any attempt to predict the future.
