Since the RC2 update I can no longer playback terrestrial Freeview TV3 recordings made by my MythTV 0.23.1 backend. I suspect RC2 has broken something relating to the dual embedded audio streams in the TV3 as it used to work fine, at least it did in Dharma Beta4. All other channel recordings play back fine.

I have noticed this problem too, for me it manifests itself as no audio and the video playback seems to be in fast-forward mode. Workaround is to select the menu that gives the bar at the top of the display where you can go in and adjust the audio settings, selecting the 2nd audio track (5.1) makes things happy again, audio works and video returns to normal playback. Not sure why this track is not selected by default, saving the settings for next time does not seem to help either.
