   This build also includes many fixes and incremental 
   improvements over the earlier milestone releases. A 
   lot of the work in this build also has gone towards
   stabilizing features and fixing many known issues and 
   bugs.

  Known Issues

     * Previous and Next buttons might be disabled and 
       require toggling of Continuous check box to 
       re-enable them.
     * If you are having problems playing back media 
       and are behind a proxy you can try using rtsp 
       transport via HTTP only (go to transports pane in
       Preferences, select "use specified transport" and 
       click "configure RTSP." Then uncheck "attempt
       multicast," "attempt UDP," and "attempt TCP.")
     * Some content encoded in RealAudio 3 fails to play. 
       Multimedia content that uses RA3 as the audio codec
       will still play without audio. RA3 has been deprecated.
     * Player does not play gnome-vfs URI's (smb://). 
       Workaround is to mount the samba share using 
       smbmount etc. (issue #2269).
     * See the Helix Player bug tracker for a list of the 
       latest issues that affect the player.
