Just a short note about today's images.  Image 247 had a small 
regression which broke thumbnails (in the video carousel, 
possibly elsewhere too).  We got a fix tested from silo though, 
and the fix seems to be included in image 248.

I've also noticed that our media player doesn't seem to support 
very many video codecs.  I had difficulty finding videos it can 
actually play.  This most likely isn't a regression, but it'd be 
awfully nice if we could add in the full lavc / ffmpeg codec set, 
and be able to play practically every video format ever made.

That is, assuming the hardware can handle it.  I think we're 
still using software decoders, considering that my battery charge 
level actually went down during playback even though it was 
plugged in.  (and that was on a low-bitrate 640x352 video; 
probably drains faster with HD video)

(would also be pretty cool if we could include support for 
mounting nfs and samba shares directly and playing media from 
them)
