[mythtv] Irritating new feature

[james]

Hi
In the last few weeks trunk has been changed, operation is now a pain:

I record the news daily
A while later I watch the recording
Skip over commercials, boring bits ...

On skip to the current recording point mythfrontend exits !!!
It used to skip upto the current point then play from that point

All the cute setup buttons/options that purport to relate, do not have the 
desired effect

The painful workaround is:
skip till near end
pause
big skip (down-key) until recording is past the next bit to be watched
un-pause
<back><back> to the start of interesting stuff

Really not nice. I cannot see any reason that users would want to exit at this 
point, any technical reasons ...

James
