Comment (by Lawrence Rust <lvr@…>):

 Having some kind of autoplay is, I believe, essential. Given that, then
 the current implementation (with some minor tweaks) works but is clunky
 and limiting. Allowing a plugin to install some kind of general event
 handler/filter is more generic but could be a significant code change. One
 has to look at the cost/benefit analysis. What are the benefits of
 changing? How much code/time will this add?

 The call to JumpTo?("MainMenu?") isn't so terrible. At that point the user
 has enabled "Jump to plugin" and is expecting Myth to start a compatible
 handler after inserting new media. Jumping to main menu unravels anything
 going on, releasing memory and devices, and provides a clean exit point
 for the new plugin. It's questionable though if one plugin should
 interrupt another or whether autoplay should be disabled while watching
 live TV.

 I sense that you have an agenda to change this but I haven;t seen the
 benefits yet. Can you explain?
