I can't believe you just did that... I was going to throw together the
patch and mail it to you--completely untested--to let you do the hard
part (the testing).
Then, when I got in there, I started looking and found there's another
place that needs updating for manual-skip mode. As a matter of fact,
it's the one that Chris mentioned here
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/217500#217500 and
that I unknowingly pointed out in the post to which Chris was responding
and the one whose existence I subjectively disavowed in my response
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/217645#217645 . The
reason I subjectively disavowed its existence is because my usage of
MythTV (and most users' usage) makes the one forgotten place an extreme
corner case.
Unfortunately, one adjective that describes me better than "lazy" does
is "compulsive," so once I found the bug, I couldn't walk away without
stepping on it. It was just as easy to test two cases as one, so,
surprise (and enjoy the patch that will be up soon--unless I don't have
enough time to do finish the build before How I Met Your Mother in 2 1/4
hours)...
