Known Issues:

• When playing back a wma file the progress bar fills as though it has reached the end then resets to the beginning and plays back as expected.
• Changing the server language on Vista takes the server ~12 seconds to restart
• Using the down arrow on Video Playback, jumps forward instead of back after the up arrow had been pressed for couple of times.
• When selecting a wma file for playback the progress bar flashes 100% prior to beginning playback of the file. Though playback occurs as expected the visual queue of the progress bar is incorrect.
• When selecting a .gif image in Photos, the server attempts to "load" the image and displays the ‘loading’ info on the screen until interrupted by the user.
