Dear Philips, dear all,
I made a list of observed bugs, missing features, and needed clarifications for the 2010 TV series firmware (TV550R1).
@Philips
Please take a deep look at this list. This could be a good place to gather some information in a ordered way. And please state some answers to the clarification part!
@All
If you found further bugs, please state a "one line description", cause I'd like to update the list regularily.
Clarifications:- IP EPG and Ziggo: Ziggo says IP-EPG should work in parallel with DVB-EPG. Why does it not work?
- How is the status of EPG over DVB-T in countries such as Greece? Why do restrictions exist?
- Does DTS and/or DD passthrough work with this setup?: BDP->HDMI->TV->SPDIF->HTS
- Does DTS and/or DD passthrough work with this setup?: BDP->HDMI->TV->HDMI-ARC->HTS
- Whats the maximum USB-HDD size supported by the TV series?
- Which TV series support native 24p inputs (pulldown, which setup etc.)?
- Now/Next EPG OSD (transparent layer during zapping): What's the reason why this feature is not implemented (anymore)?
- What is the customer supposed to do, if he/she still has sound drop issues? Will this be fixed by software or hardware only?
Features:
- SRT subtitles are not supported
- switching between audio streams in media files is not working
- if DTS is present in media files, complete video is not playable even if video coded is supported
- status page (option button - status info) does not show frequency of input source (e.g. 24Hz, 50Hz, ...)
- channel list: "hide encrypted channels" feature is missing
- MultiView (Cinema 21:9): it is not possible to switch from MultiView to fullscreen
- MultiView (Cinema 21:9): it is not possible to switch from TV directly to MultiView
- Home menu isn't completely customizable (moving icons, see also: http://www.supportforum.philips.com/...user-interface).)
- sleep timer isn't present via Green Button (it's deeply hidden inside the configuration menu)
- There is no zoom setting to display TV broadcasts in 4:3 aspect ratio without stretching to 16:9
- Better (read faster) RW / FF via DLNA and / or a resume function
- Download/Update the channel list on usb stick and provide a software for easy editing on PC.
- Support access to local web pages in local network without Philips proxy server
- 3D: add modi "Side by Side inverted" and "Top Bottom inverted" - such as in TV550R3
- (energy saving mode should turn off the ambilight) => tbc, works on 58PFL9955
- Update Opera with HBBTV 1.1.1 capabilities - such as in TV550R2/R3
- USB HID support
- DTS support
- Add support for more open audio codecs: FLAC, Ogg-Vorbis, APE, etc.
- Allow analog stereo audio output on the SCART plugs, from any input source (internal - digital and analog tuners - and external)
- Net TV PIP: support also external sources (such as HDMI)
Bugs:- USB content is not shown in alphabetical order (or add an option to sort differently via the option button menu - such as by name, by date, last modified, ...)
- during visibility of volume OSD, one is not able to switch channels or doing something different by pressing a button
- DVB subtitles and volume OSD cannot be shown at the same time (tbc)
- teletext is sometimes not working (nothing happens if one press teletext menu entry)
- TV channel lists: sorting does always apply to the complete list
- IP-EPG/channel mapping is always based on the complete channel list - independed of the actual chosen list
- internal update mechanism is stuck at 140.27
- MultiView (Cinema 21:9): translation error in German OSD, if one opens the menu to switch MultiView inputs ("Browse Menu" is shown)
- Teletext (Cinema 21:9): aspect ratio of tv stream on the left is wrong in Dual View mode
- Translation error: German "What's on" menu displays english weekday on the bottom left // with DVB-C no weekday is shown (tbc)
- Some TV sets restart (e.g. 40pfl8605) when you switch off the TV while watching video via DLNA or USB
- NETTV is slow and/or not working with many consumers => Fixed in Firmware 140.40
- Embedded cover arts of MP3 files seem to have a size limitation (tbc)
