Unfortunately for me no mention of:

  1. option of storing the media library and meta data on a local usb drive

  2. AAC issue

  3. Twitch.tv viewing (my god 100K people would buy the device just for that alone!)

4. Allow sorting on recently aired for  TV shows and release date for movies based on media info

I have an Onkyo amplifier and I have to disable the ability to support AAC in the SMP settings or I get no audio from most AAC media files. I say most because every now and then one will play but 99% of the time they do not.

Disable how? By setting the SMP to stereo? Is it possible your AVR needs the AACs to be in a certain format?
