Full details of this and the next two 'sub bullets' at: [9497ba1], [030ba69] Add a dialog to offer common actions instead of immediately entering the schedule editor when SELECT is pressed on a non-scheduled program. Change the behavior when RECORD is pressed in the EPG and elsewhere. Provide accurate position/duration/seeking with non-constant frame rates. Note that to get the benefit of these changes for preexisting recordings, it may be necessary to run "mythcommflag --rebuild" on affected recordings.
