[mythtv] Patching MythGallery to use internal video player

[Matthew Wire]

Hi,

I've written a patch for mythgallery to allow the internal video player
to be used.  However, when I try and view any videos all I get is a
black screen and no error messages.  This is all I get in the frontend
log:
2006-05-27 01:34:41.447 XMLParse::LoadTheme
using /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/gallery-ui.xml
QDate::fromString: Parameter out of range
2006-05-27 01:34:45.884 TV: Attempting to change from None to
WatchingPreRecorded

at which point mythfrontend hangs.
Is there something else that I should have initialised or something?

Thanks,
Matthew Wire
