Comment (by al@…):

 Apologies, after the machine has been shut down since I posted the other
 day, what seems to be happening now is:

 LCD screen keeps its message during playback but when you come back to a
 menu, the display remains for the period set as "Menu pop-up time" and
 then goes to some garbled characters. It does, however now revert to
 expected display when I start playback again.

 {{{
 ps -C mythlcdserver returns
   PID TTY          TIME CMD
  2312 ?        00:00:53 mythlcdserver

 }}}


 Sadly, I thought that the using of the back/exit key to exit playback
 might have started working. however, what seems to be happening is when I
 try to test it, it always seems to work. It tends to be when I settle down
 to watch something properly for 10 minutes or more that it locks up and
 will not exit playback. On one occasion in the last couple of days the
 frontend has locked completely but all the other times I've been able to
 exit playback by using the right arrow keys to go to the end of the
 recording. At this point the recording stops on its own.

 I've been running
 {{{
 tail -f frontend.log
 }}}

 all the time I've been watching and absolutely nothing appears in the log
 when I press the exit key if it locks. If the recording exits properly
 (when it's only been running a short time) then this appears:

 {{{
 mythfrontend[24419]: I CoreContext tv_play.cpp:426 (StartTV)
 TV::StartTV(): Exiting main playback loop.
 }}}
