Known Problems
==========
CenterStage
----------
	•	No preferences yet, except for resolution and skin
	•	The On Screen Display (OSD) is only implemented in a basic version, a full usable dynamic OSD will be implemented in a later version of CenterStage
	•	mkv playback might stutter in the beginning of a movie. Unfortunately this is caused by Perian's implementation of the mkv file format (the movie gets completely analyzed after opening). This behaviour is the same as in Apple's Quicktime player.
	•	Advanced WMV (also known as VC1) files may take a long time to load. HD resolution files might take up to 5 minutes until they can be played. This behaviour is the same as in Apple's Quicktime player.
	•	DVD playback only works if the user has admin rights

BackStage
---------
	•	With lots of files in your User's Movies Folder startup can take very long because of the initial database build process - Dock symbol might even stop jumping. BackStage will start up after the process is finished. You might open Console if you want to see the process log.
	•	No multiple edits of info data
	•	Cover does not show up after initial adding and switching back and forth, restart necessary
	•	Optical glitch when adding a folder in the source tree. Correct names occur after a restart
	•	Smart Folders might behave strange
	•	Changing the titel of a movie requires a completing select in another tag field to be saved
	•	Changing of some tag fileds requires a completing select of another tag field to be saved
	•	mkv playback might stutter in the beginning of a movie. Unfortunately this is caused by Perian's implementation of the mkv file format (the movie gets completely analyzed after opening). This behaviour is the same as in Apple's Quicktime player.
	•	Advanced WMV (also known as VC1) files may take a long time to load. HD resolution files might take up to 5 minutes until they can be played. This behaviour is the same as in Apple's Quicktime player.
