That makes sense since I first noticed the problem after removing
the Qt3 code from libmythupnp, during which I made the SSDP code not
run in its own thread, so the PortChecker calls now are running in,
and blocking, the UI thread.<br>
<br>
Regardless, removing the 500 ms sleep from PortChecker does fix the
animation delay, but my first set of changes to PortChecker caused
some other problems and was reverted. I am waiting for some testing
of a new set of changes from those who could reproduce the problem
the reverted changes caused.
