[Dtb-talk] Fwd: Stream News Wire - Software Version 1.2 Released

[T. Joseph Carter]

Any idea when mp4 might be supported?  The firmware acted like it
supported mp4, but never really did.  Recognition of mp4 files has been
removed until they are actually supported, but no word when that'll
happen, or even if it will happen.
