Known Issues and Limitations

Yocto-3.1 RDK generic  media client image support in R-Pi:

1. PREFERRED_VERSION of gstreamer1.0-libav is set to 1.14 to resolve aamp playback issues.
2. The optimization level for netsrvmgr and tr69hostif packages are set to -O0 to fix the crash.
3. mfrmgr.service is crashing for the latest build.
4. appmanager is getting displayed after booting up the image but the login prompt is not available in the background as usual. It is not showing up even after stopping appmanager.
5. rmfApp prompt is not getting displayed after playing video using launch/play command. So we need to hard close the video using Ctrl + C combination.
6. Sometimes the appmanager disappear from the screen after sometime. We can bring it back by pressing ctrl button.
