 > So the issue lies with !WasAutomaticStart. It can be improved, but
 ultimately it's hard for an application to know why it's been started
 without external (OS-specific) hints.

 There is one entity that knows whether it was started for a recording -
 the backend (it already has code to decide this).  The frontend could ask
 the backend if it has just automatically started and this would be correct
 more often but perhaps not always.

 > Maybe we should change the title/description to "FE sometimes goes into
 Standby when manually started".

 I would be happy with that, it is a better description.
