[mythtv] Wondering about changing the MythTV player Play/Pause behaviour...

[Vaughan Harper]

Folks,
In the UK, one of the major PVRs is Sky+ (comparable with Tivo in North 
America?). The play/pause behaviour is different from the MythTV player 
(with Sky+ if you are fast forwarding/scanning and you press Play then 
it goes into Play x1 rather than pausing), so I'd like to change the 
MythTV behaviour to match Sky+, in order to make it easier switching 
from one to another. (I'd also like to change the speed up/slow down 
behaviour to match Sky+ and try and emulate the Apple TV "what was that" 
feature to replay the last 30 seconds with subtitles on.)

So I'm wondering whether there would be there would be general interest 
in this or whether I should just do it as a personal fork. It seems like 
the key changes would be in tv_play.cpp, but I guess that if it were to 
be adopted there would have to be a setting to control whether to stick 
with the existing behaviour or use this changed behaviour, so that would 
require more changes to set/store this setting.

What do people think? Shall I just do my own thing, or should I submit 
the work?

Many thanks,
Vaughan
