 Replying to [comment:54 anonymous]:
 > It appears as though the mini-player won't change tracks while viewing a
 web page in MythBrowser at present. I have checked this in both the
 MythNews and MythBrowser plain; playback is halted until MythBrowser is
 closed (to the feed / story selection screen in the case of 'News and to
 the page selection screen in the case of 'Browser).

 The mini player needs to receive events to know when a track has finished.
 Unfortunately anything that stops these events being dispatched will cause
 the player to pause at the end of a track until these events get
 processed.

 The reason MythBrowser in particular causes this problem is because it is
 not a proper plugin but is in fact a separate application which when it's
 run causes the main thread in the FE to pause stopping the events from
 being dispatched.
