NOTA GRABACIONES: Para poder realizar grabaciones solo tienes que buscar canales, picha sobre el canal y pulsa la tecla play del mando a distancia. Si, he dicho la tecla paly. Tiene su razon, creo que se debe a que tiene que ser alguna tecla que tambien se encuentre en el frontal del reproductor, en este caso ha sido el play. Para parar la grabación también con la tecla play.

- Added a possibility to put link to any folder/file/media resource directly to the main screen.
- Requirement: system storage should be attached (it is used to store the list of links and the associated icons).

- item..caption = ...
- item..media_url = ...
- item..icon_path = ... (NOTE: HTTP links to images can be used)
- item..<...> = ... (any other parameters affecting the look and behavior of the media item)

- Added support for working with external catalogs of resources ("virtual filesystems") in the file browser.
- When dune_folder.txt/media_url points to a HTTP URL using "dune_http://..." syntax instead of the normal "http://..." syntax,
such a HTTP URL is handled by the player as a "virtual folder", which can be opened and navigated similarly to how local and NFS/SMB folders can be opened/navigated.
- The "dune_http" HTTP URL should return dune_folder.txt describing the content of the virtual folder using the mechanism of "virtual items".
- Each virtual item can be either a reference to a particular media resource, or a "dune_http" reference to a nested virtual subfolder.

- Extended support for VBR MP3 files (added duration detection and seek possibilities).

- Improved Internet radio playback: implemented more robust handling of HTTP connections.

- Improved component video output (prefering "SMPTE" standard instead of "M2"; should fix the problems with bad colors when component video output is chosen in Setup).

- Improved support for output of high quality PCM audio though digital audio outputs (S/PDIF and HDMI):
- Relaxed software limitations on the sample rate (to the level allowed by the hardware).
- Introduced a new setting allowing to limit maximum sample rate for compatibility with particular S/PDIF cables and A/V receivers.
- NOTE: For compatibility with all S/PDIF cables and A/V receivers, the limit is set to 48 Khz by default.

- Bugfix: in Blu-ray playback, 1921x1081 scaling was wrongly used, leading to slightly decreased picture quality.

- Bugfix: some PCM WAV files were playing with a slight noise in the beginning.

- Bugfix: opening SMB share using guest account could not work in some cases.
