 In 0.27, it's possible to play recordings in groups protected by PINs
 without first entering the PIN, by way of the Jump to Program option in
 the OSD menu. I believe this is a regression of #2224.

 I'm attaching a first pass at a patch, which essentially does the same
 hack as found in #2224, to prevent the user from selecting recordings
 outside of the current recording group. However, there are two better
 solutions I can think of, but which I don't have the ability to implement:

 1. The best solution would be to ask the user to enter a PIN when trying
 to play a recording in a PIN-protected group that is not the one they are
 currently viewing a recording from.

 2. An easier (but with diminished UX) solution would be to do a modified
 version of this patch, which only shows recordings that are either in the
 same group as what is currently being watched, or in another group that
 has no PIN.
