RE: xPLMediaNet OSD

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

Exclusive is only sent for osd menus, never for osd status

The releases get sent as safety mechanisms at various points to ensure the
osd is released

Can you check your determinators to see what message is missing please?

Regards
Tony
