I normally use LIRC's irxevent, but until r23020 (which I manually
patched onto my -fixes setup) I had to switch to having mythfrontend
directly talk to LIRC. I noticed that the JumpPoint for Watch
Recordings wouldn't work during playback until I exited (to Watch
Recordings, natch), which doesn't happen when using irxevent. Is this
due to what Jim describes?
