Hi All,

I'm running 0.19 from ATRPMS (the latest stable ones from the fixes
branch) on Fedora Core 3.  I'm seeing a problem which I can reproduce
doing the following:

In the Watch Recordings screen, I delete a recording
I then watch a recording
When trying to exit a recording after watching it (hitting ESC), the
screen goes black for a while then it continues playing the recording.

In the frontend logs (with -v all) it shows this when trying to exit the
recording:

The file in the log is the file which I deleted prior to watching the
recording.  Obviously it is not there, but I don't know why its trying to
open it.

The odd thing is, if I delete a recording then watch another recording for
a few minutes, it exits fine (using ESC).  Its only after watching a long
recording (an hour or so) when I see this problem.

My hardware is a P4 Celeron 2.4ghz, 512mb ram, 80gb hdd, 1 PVR150 and 1
KWorld Xpert DVB-T card.

Anyone having this problem or have any ideas on how to solve it?

Thanks,

Nick
