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.
