[mythtv-users] another unofficial pandora plugin

[Michael R. Hines]

Thanks - Ah, yes - that was deliberate....

It seemed convenient to mimic the functionality of MythMusic,
so that you can look at photos or browser TV schedules simultaenously
while you're listening to music.........

It would be nice to have a "confirmation box" like MythMusic does
or something like that to ask you for permission to logout....
