-----------------------------------------+------------------------
 I started picking up the nightly builds for the 0.24-fixes stream via
 Mythbuntu late last year. An update in late January (roughly) seems to
 have introduced a serious defect that was not there in the past.

 On the "Watch Recordings" screen, if I hit "Enter" to start the playback
 of a recording there is a slight delay before the playback starts. If the
 machine is busy, this can take a few seconds. As a result, I often think
 that the (cheap wireless keyboard's) keystroke did not register and hit
 "Enter" again. This has never been a problem until recently.

 For the past few weeks, hitting "Enter" a second time before the recording
 starts causes the frontend to hang every time. It needs to be killed and
 restarted. This happens several times a day, and every time my three-year-
 old has the controls. It happens when watching live TV, too, but I haven't
 really tried to reproduce it reliably there, as I imagine it is the same
 problem as when watching recordings.

 Maybe it always did this (but I think not): recently the audio starts
 fractionally before the video appears when a recording is played back.
 Hitting "Enter" twice results in a fraction of a second of audio before
 the frontend hangs. The "Watch Recordings" screen is still displayed (the
 video has not yet appeared) and the frontend is completely unresponsive
 (forever, until restarted).

 It should be easy enough to reproduce this problem and confirm this bug
 report. However, you may need to place the machine under some load first,
 to ensure that there is time to hit "Enter" twice before the video
 appears.
