PVR-350: Perpetual restart of playback.

[j2@…]

I've tossed this around on the user list, but with no avail, and it does seem to be a bug.

Basically, at times, when i try to exit out of playback of a recording, it just restarts the playback, and it is impossible to exit. This ONLY occurs if i use PVR-350 output.

Usually i can exit recordings 3-5 times successfully, and then it goes haywire.

I know that it will fail if the screen goes black immediately after pressing exit (on my PVR-350 remote control, or ESC on keyboard). Then nothing happens for about five seconds, and then the playback restarts. At this point, nothing short of a shutdown of mythfrontend will get me out of the playback.

I tried to enable "Prompt on playback exit", but it does not help. Once the problem occurs, the playback will restart regardless of what option i choose in the presented menu

I have the same problem on my XBOX which was recently upgraded to 0.19-0.10. So the problem does not seem to be related to the PVR-350.
