  • It is not possible to configure 2 sources with RTP in Low Latency mode and with Simple Paging.

  • USB Source: there is no validation in the “path” configuration field of the source, if the “ \ “ character is used it crashes the user interface forcing the user to reset to defaults the device

  • USB Source: the player doesn’t support artworks in the ID3 meta data of the file, it skips their playback.
