 Jumping from a still frame (or just allowing it to timeout) to a video
 sequence sometimes doesn't unpause video.  This leads to bad flickering
 when the video buffers are forcibly drained.
 It appears that this only occurs under certain circumstances:
   * A video decoder in no additional buffering (i.e *NOT* VDPAU)
   * Still frame and video sequences in menu domains but not in cells
 marked as menus.
   * When the timing is right!

 The flag 'dvd_stillframe_showing' was explicitly set to 'false' here,
 which prevents the check at the end of MythDVDPlayer::VideoLoop from
 unpausing playback.  The attached patch ensures MythPlayer::UnpauseVideo
 is called at this point, matching the behaviour of the check at the end of
 the method.
