I did not implement cutlist in leanfront. That is something I postponed
for later if anybody needed it. I don't know how cutlist works, not
having used it. Do we need an option in leanfront to either use cutlist
or skip list? In mythfrontend I only saw options for enabling commercial
skip, not for enabling cutlist. Perhaps cutlist is always enabled? Does
cutlist have the option of notify vs of vs skip?
I do not know if I will be able to support editing in the player
(creating the cutlist) the way mythfrontend does it.
First I need to fix the errors where pause does not work through the OSD
and the seek list crashes on v31.
