What's in this patch?
This patch contains updates to the HMI Player flash-gf binary to add support for 16-bit audio and mixer control and to correct a race condition (resulting in a crash) when MSO and image requests are cancelled. This patch also corrects a problem where the Flash application becomes frozen for a period of time if you set the system clock back in time.
The following files are installed under $QNX_TARGET/ in the subdirectories for the supported targets:
- armle/bin/flash-gf
- ppcbe/bin/flash-gf
- shle/bin/flash-gf
- x86/bin/flash-gf
Fixed issues
- If you change the system time on the target, the player no longer sometimes freezes for a time equal to the amount the time was changed by. (Ref# 61334)
- The player no longer crashes if Flash Lite cancels a request for a Mobile Shared Object or image while the request is being processed. (Ref# 61368)
- The HMI Player now supports 16-bit audio in addition to 8-bit audio. This improves sound quality and means that you can control the volume. (Ref# 53329)
- If an Action Script application queries the language setting, the flash player now returns a string based on the FLASH_LANGUAGE environment variable, if it's set. If it isn't set, the player returns en-US. (Ref# 53820)
- The video now plays, even if there's no audio device. (Ref# 49661)
Known issues
- Audio output from the HMI Player 1.0 on PPCBE architectures will be garbled if you apply this patch (which enables 16-bit audio). If audio output is important to your applications on PPCBE systems, don't apply this patch. This issue has been resolved in the HMI Player 1.1 release. (Ref# 62554)
