Well, I tested it again and I was having the same seeking problem
between shows in live-tv. I don't know why it worked the last time I
tested it.

I also found that when I filtered to the Live-TV recordings and tried
playing one, the playing usually failed with something like:

2007-09-16 16:02:54.173 TV: Attempting to change from None to
WatchingPreRecorded
2007-09-16 16:02:54.348 AFD Error: avformat err(-5) on av_open_input_file call.

in the logs. It would simply show a black screen for a few seconds and
then go back to menu, however the video preview played fine the entire
time. Once in  a while the video would actually play. These videos are
on a slave backend (didn't test with any others), other non-livetv
videos from the same slave backend played fine however. I don't know
if the patch from this ticket has anything to do with it.

Should I make a ticket for each of these issues or could they be
related to the 2335_fix_2.diff patch?
