I have installed v5.1 on one of my development boxes and had a couple of questions.
PlayMedia appears to function differently then before. I am assuming this is related to the changes around the "stopped" screen.
- I do not get the status bar at the bottom of the screen when pausing/fastforwarding/rewinding etc.
- When passing DVD as the MediaType I am no longer getting the DVD related functionality (zoom/DVD menu/info screen, etc.).
- I do not get a "stopped" screen (this has been noted already by the MCE team).
- If I pass true for addToQueue for video as the MediaType I now crash (the SDK does state this should be used only for audio media types). Note: This can be handled by creating a wpl playlist.
I have not had the chance to create a handler for playstate changes to address this. I'm trying to avoid this if what I am seeing here is a bug (hopefully in what I am doing). Was this really by design? I can't even navigate a DVD menu anymore!
