I did some more digging, the CalcMaxFFTime function is working just fine. The 
problem was that, as soon as the FF time was clipped to 0, the repeated FF keys
flooded the system. That caused the player to skip 100 or more frames, so it 
basically ended up where it wasn't supposed be get. I added some stuff to limit
the FF repeats with a timer if you're close to the start or end. It's really sweet now,
almost no delays when you hit the limit and you can rest your head on the FF button
for a night without problems. :]

The patch also contains stuff to automatically quit the epg if the 'askrecording' dialog
pops up or a recording starts.
