Subject: Version 0.3.4
I just uploaded version 0.3.4

Major changes are that it is now possible to delete recordings and that the list of recordings is automatically updated when the backend starts recording a new program or a program is delete remotely.
It is also possible to disable the streambuffer (which is only needed on wireless), and to open recordings from a windows share instead of streaming it from the backend. This is a bit faster and can utilize the network more.
Besides that, many fixes have been made.
Full changelog can be found below


I also released the code under GPL and created a project on sourceforge.net. The project page can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythtvplayer/. I have not uploaded the code to SVN yet.
I created a mailinglist for announcements of new version. It can be subscribed at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mythtvplayer-…


Enjoy and do not hesitate to give feedback/bugs to my mail or the forums.

Changelog:

 - When pressing Right/Left multiple times, the player suddenly seeked from 0:00. Fixed.
 - Disable the "Do you want to automatically skip commercial?" messagebox when no commercial.
   marks exist. For example, it is not possible to retrieve the commercial marks through the
   mythtv protocol before MythTv 0.19.
 - When length of recording is unknown, "Unknown" is now shown in GUI.
 - Error shown when SDL can not be initialized.
 - Length of shows that are still recording should now be handled correctly.
 - Recordings can now be opened from windows shares. Can be configured by <UseWindowsShare> and
   <WindowsShare> in the config file.
 - Streambuffer can now be disabled by setting <StreamBufferEnabled> to '0' in the config file.
   The streambuffer is really only needed when streaming on wireless.
 - Fixed bug where player froze when trying to play file that did not exist.
 - Recordings can now be deleted. Can be disabled by changed <DeleteRecordingsEnabled> to '0'
   in the config file.
 - The player now receives events from the backend. The program list is now automatically
   updated when a new show is being recorded. So, no need to press the update button anymore.
 - When the recording that is currently played is deleted, the player stops and notifies user.
 - Recording groups are now sorted and number of recordings in groups shown if larger then 1.
   (A bit of inspiration from mythweb)
 - AlwaysOnTop did not work as intented. It was disregarded after a fullscreen-mode, or when
   the window was resized.
 - GUI. Added subtitle to recording information and now shows hour/minutes of the airtime.

Subject: First try
0.3.4 seems to work, tried playing three shows of "Third Rock from the Sun" and used the DEL function which works as advertised.

One question: If I press the STOP the program disappears (stops completely and exits).
Is this the intended function?

Nope.. It should just stop the recording, but the player should not exit.
Pressing the ESC button closes the player (Is this a nice or a bad feature?)

If you press the stop button and the player closes, I would like to see the log.txt file. So maybe you could mail it too me.

Having ESC exit is okay after you get used to it.  ESC in MythTV defaults to taking you back to the previous menu though, so I had a hard time breaking myself of using that button at first.
