While running a slide show, I am experiencing flickering before and during slide transitions. Is there a way to fix this (I am using the new playlist feature which might be the cause).

  Hi,
  
  
  
  The playlist doesn't cause flicker.
  
  
  
  The only time I've seen flicker with the playlist is if you play an mp3 directly after playing an image. It happens the first time you play an mp3 after playing an image. This is a bug that will be fixed.
  
  
  
  If this doesn't apply, can you reply with the playlist you are using? Also, please download the brightsign demo, if you haven't already, and try using a playlist with the images from the demo. Do they flicker as well?

  It seems to be doing it right before the transition when there is a large change in color between the two slides (going from a white slide to a full color picture). It is a bit random with when it does it though. I can't think of a better way to explain it. I have tried the slides from the demo and they seem to work fine, but there is no drastic change in color for them. Below is my playlist, but I don't see it being the problem it seems like a firmware issue.

  After a bit of troubleshooting it only does this while on the "1920x1080x60i" output, so I have it working fine and widescreen, just not at 1080i.
  
  
  
  Thanks

  1080i mode has some issues under the current software. I'll check if this is one of the known symptoms.
