Effective 07/08/08, L5.12 has begun spooling for the ViP622/ViP722. Please use this thread for documenting your experiences and/or bugs found.

Release Notes can be found here.

Received L5.12 on my Rev D 622 this AM. So far so good. Can't give much of a report on the trick-play issues as I did not have them with the L5.11 version -- so far I have not seen any trick-play problems with L5.12 either.

edit---

TulsaOK asked a question about the "f-b-f" functions in the now closed L5.12 thread. I just checked it on L5.12 receiver using the HDNET Movie channel and I can confirm that:
-- "Skip-Back" moves a fairly consistant 3-4 frames backward with each button press,
-- "Pause" hits the mark as expected, and
-- "Skip-Fwd" advances what appears to be a a single frame at a time.

I was having sporadic reboots - which have (SO FAR!!) not occurred.

Trick play appears improved.

I can get to my "POINT DISH" without having to reboot.

I still have audio issues on my SAT Locals in Seattle. Sounds like audio clipping.

And official notes about L5.12 software ?

Are you able to pause a program then frame-by-frame forward then f-b-f reverse and still keep your place?

Yes, from a pause fbf works in both forward and reverse. FF'ing even at 300x stops at the right frame when using either Play or Pause. So far 5.12 looks like a good fix for our reported problems.

Not yet... I will ping Rob to see if there are any.

 

[Rob Glasser]

Just got the info. I'll make a release notes post in the release notes forum but they are only one line:

• 
  DVR Fixes

I can only assume this means fixes to things like trick modes. Here is the same info in the Release Notes Forum.

Got L5.12 on one of my 722s about 90 minutes ago.

There are still some major bugs with "trick play."

For example, if I pause, a skip forward will go frame by frame.

But if I hit skip back it jumps back about six seconds.

Better yet, if you hit "pause" without first hitting skip forward, the very first click of "skip back" will go back one frame; the next will jump backwards about six seconds as above.

But it does seem to fix the more usual FF/REW bugs as far as I can tell.

That's good news. Thanks for the reply.

A quick test of trick play, especially FF, shows it is working more often then it was, but it still occassionally will jump foward a minute or two. I did this test with 300x ff, pause, pause. It did this jump about 1 time in 8, but worked correctly the other times.

 

[Presence]

I am now having problems with Skip Back and Skip Fwd. There were no issues with 5.11, so this is new to me.

Trick play functional again - they must have been listening when my husband said, "Why don't they do a software update that will just fix this problem without adding a bunch of other stuff on?"

 

[P Smith]

From last night L5.12 is targeting all 722/622.

 

[kucharsk]

Yep, my second 722 got L5.12 this morning.

 

[martin]

ff issue seemsbetter but now it is rebooting ever 5 minutes

 

[dbconsultant]

FF & RW both working ok but this morning I noticed that when using skipback, instead of just skipping back 10 seconds, it would randomly skip back as much as 30-45 seconds instead. Doesn't happen every time. Occurred while watching a dvr'd episode of Hitchcock Presents from Chiller. Skip forward consistently works fine.

Edit: watching the same program, used the skip back - clicked it about 3 times and it went back 10-15 minutes to the middle of the program.

My 722 now has 512 and I no longer have any problems with FF or RW. So it seems as if the 722 is working OK with no serious issues that I can detect so far.

New member as of today. So I hope I am posting this in the correct place.
As of L5.12 I noticed that the Closed Captions are no longer showing on two HD channels: HBO and SHO. The SD channels on the same channel number are OK. I have tried the power off / unplug / check switch remedies, with no success.
I have checked out many other HD channels and they all seem to be OK. I have seen this previously (after a storm - usually all HD channels) but the unplug / power off procedure has always fixed this in the past. I also tried using the component connection thru my DVD player where I usually see the TV's captions and have the same result. Not sure if this is due to L5.12 but it happened after I received this upgrade.

722 in Single mode, connected to Panasonic TH50PX600U Plasma via HDMI.

hmmm my broadband connection won't connect now. It was fine until 5.12 came down, its getting an IP assigned by DHCP but won't connect I have reset the router and reset connection, I am trying a cold reboot now..No luck its connected to the router and getting an address (192.168.1.101, which is generic computer has 100 Xbox has 102 now, so I know its working but it wont connect to dish online), never had a problem before anyone else having issues with broadband?

I've been seeing more pixellation since getting 5.11 and now, with 5.12, it seems to be worse. Both on live and dvr'd events, looks like primarily HD channels (saw it today on A&E HD, MHD). On A&E HD, Criminal Justice, dvr'd today and the last half of it is almost unwatchable from the pixellation and dropout problems.
