 Hi All,

 UDPnotify seems to stop working after watching the first show.  The steps
 to reproduce are:

 1. start mythfrontend
 2. watch a program
 3. send a udp message (e.g. mythtvosd --template=cid) to confirm it works
 4. exit the show (not mythfrontend)
 5. start the show again
 6. attempt to send a udp message again  (this step fails)

 I think the issue is that udpnotify->deleteLater() is never called when
 tv_play.cpp shuts down.  This means that the socket doesn't get closed so
 future udp messages get lost.  Attached is a patch to make sure that this
 method is called in the TV deconstructor.  I'm not sure if this is the
 best place for it but it worked for me.

 Thanks!
 Doug
