[mythtv] Popup choices

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Popup menus would be cool; also, check out XOSD at

Of course, there's that whole issue of introducing a new dependency...

> Use a button on the remote to bring up a popup menu (slides on
> nicely or just appears).
> The menu has different choices based on where you are (context sensitive).
>
> In viewing recorded shows it could have: Delete, Rename, etc.
> In live tv mode it could have: Closed captioning on/off, Record
> Now, EPG, etc.
> In music mode it could have the standard music choices. (appears
> over the visualizations)
> In slideshow mode it can have the slideshow button, time adjustments, etc.

> That way you don't need as menu individual keys for those of us
> that have run out of keys on their remotes.
> You need one more called "menu" :-) but then you don't need a lot

> the remote since things will be in the menu.
