1.06.42_B glitchy lines during playback

Wow, this new firmware is garbage.  When playing back my videos I sometimes glitchy horizontal lines appear.  The glitches keep happening until I stop the video.  Sometimes when I start the video again it is fine.  I had to reboot to fix it otherwise.

I never had this problem before.  When I figure out how to roll back to .16 I will.

Stupid me thinking something was actually fixed in this version.  I was thinking the audio in certain files was going to be fixed in this version - no true either.

You can try pressing the reset button to see if that helps, you can also try playing different video formats to see if the problem happens with all of them. Check the link below for the steps to roll back the firmware.
