Known limitations
=================

L01  When browsing in the control panel for a snapshot/recording folder, 
     certain invalid folders (e.g. \\{server}) may appear for selection. 
     However, as these are not valid selections, they will not appear in 
     the edit box.

L02  In MPEG-2 products, if the video resolution is set to 2CIF, 
     any snapshots taken will have half the specified height.   
  
L03  Date and time overlay text shown when playing MPEG-2 files may be
     hard to read, depending on the color scale of the video being shown.

L04  The client may stop displaying the MPEG-4 video stream after the PC 
     has been locked. 
     Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

L05  If the toolbar is not correctly updated, please reload the Live View 
     page and check your server audio connection if this does not help. 

L06  It is only possible to view recorded mjpeg-streams if an appropriate
     mjpeg-decoder has been installed.

L07  Taking a snapshot or recording a stream when having the option "Open
     folder in backgound" enabled will cause the browser to lose focus and
     joysticks to give up control over AMC.
     
L08  When reconnecting after having lost a multicast stream, AMC will only
     test the multicast protocol, regardless of protocol settings.
