At the risk of further attitude jibes "top posting"  :-)

Seriously though there have been other posts recently about palyback
being borked in master. Not sure whether it was here or mythbuntu
forums.

Sorry if I was a bit abrupt, but I am sick of trying to help people
who do not appreciate that at present what they think is 0.25 is NOT
0.25 and that they expect it to work like released code. Possibly when
I see your name (which is familiar from this list) and your response
you know what you are doing so sorry for the jibe.

Anyway, may be a temporary glitch because, as I say, I have seen
reports of recent breakage, sorry I can't be more specific.
