2.8.18, among some smaller additions since 2.8.16, finally adds 4TB drive support. Would love to hear wether this is really true also for the most common Supermicro X7SBE board (not just the latest X10), and wether this works for both ingest as well as RAID drives.

Issue 1
If an show playlist (SPL) contains an intermission playlist with a determined rewind time set at the end of intermission (for example, two minutes), and then paused to re-locate to any timecode within the SPL, then the new locate timecode is offset by the preset rewind time (two

A Security Manager update was published last week, too:
A note on DLMs: for Dolby and Doremi-branded servers, media blocks and IMSes, you can download them here, and you don't need to be registered; though the actual software and firmware files do require you either to be registered on dolbycustomer.com, or for Dolby to give you the password for their FTP site.
If you have an NEC-branded IMS1000 or 2000 (NP-90MS01 or 02), then the update files and DLMs have to come from NEC Cinema Support - if you enter the serial number into Dolby's site, it won't find anything. NEC is still officially issuing firmware 4.6.4, Security Manager 6.1.129 and software 2.8.16. I've installed 2.8.18 on an NEC-branded IMS2000 (you don't need a DLM to do that) we have in the shop, and it appeared to work OK with the older firmware and security manager that is still current for NEC.
