I created a new package v0-110 to take care of the Shield problem with 
in-progress recordings. I tested it with the Shield and it behaves well 
for me. Hopefully this resolves it.
By the way, if  you press the center button to see the OSD, pressing it 
again will pause. To exit the OSD without pausing, press the back button.
