 http://192.168.0.3:6547/Frontend/PlayRecording?ChanId=9700&StartTime=2012-10-07T05:05:00Z

 returns <bool>true</bool> but the recording does not play.

 Frontend log gives

 services/frontend.cpp:132 (PlayRecording) Frontend API: PlayRecording,

 playbackbox.cpp:3696 (processNetworkControlCommand) PlaybackBox:
 NetworkControl: Trying to PLAY program '9700' @ '20121007060500'

 Using netcat
 play program 9700 2012007060500
 gives
 ERROR: You are in playbackbox mode and this command is only for playback
 mode

 play program 9700 2012-10-07T05:05:00Z
 gives
 ERROR: You are in playbackbox mode and this command is only for playback
 mode

 but removing the 'Z'
 play program 9700 2012-10-07T05:05:00
 works

 My guess at what is happening( could be completely wrong!)

 In services/frontend.cpp Frontend::PlayRecording() builds the message as
 follows:

   QString message = QString("NETWORK_CONTROL PLAY PROGRAM %1 %2 %3")
             .arg(ChanID)
             .arg(starttime.toLocalTime().toString("yyyyMMddhhmmss"))
             .arg("12345");

 In networkcontrol.cpp NetworkControl::processPlay()
 else if ((nc->getArgCount() >= 4) &&
              (is_abbrev("program", nc->getArg(1))) &&
              (nc->getArg(2).contains(QRegExp("^\\d+$"))) &&
              (nc->getArg(3).contains(QRegExp(
 "^\\d\\d\\d\\d-\\d\\d-\\d\\dT\\d\\d:\\d\\d:\\d\\d$"))))

 fails and we fall through to

 else if (GetMythUI()->GetCurrentLocation().toLower() != "playback")
     {
         return QString("ERROR: You are in %1 mode and this command is only
 "
                        "for playback mode")
                        .arg(GetMythUI()->GetCurrentLocation());
     }
