  Known Issues

     * 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.
     * The value of the UDPPort preference, if used, needs 
       to be set as a range,
       for example:

        UseUDPPort=1
        UDPPort=7000-7010
