Comment (by Alastair <al@…>):

 Replying to [comment:61 pbennett]:
 > I am running a simulated LCD on a remote frontend. Are you using a
 remote frontend or a combined frontend / backend?

 > I do not get the hanging problem. The LCD displays the playing program
 name and time elapsed. I tried twice playing for 30 minutes, press escape
 and it ends playback immediately and returns to the recording list.

 '''''Please see my notes on playback''' in comment 79:''

 {{{
 If I simply play back a recording from the start without using the arrow
 keys to move forward or back then it rarely (perhaps never) seems to hang.
 Most of the time we play back recordings and use the L & R arrows to skip
 forward and back for adverts or when kids keep interrupting. We often use
 P to pause and resume as well. When we do this and a recording lasts say
 10 minutes or more then it nearly always seems to hang when we press back
 or stop (remote or keyboard).

 > After exiting from playback, after the "menu popup time", it alternates
 between displaying the time and the server details (see below). You can
 avoid the server details and only see the time display by using
 !ServerScreen=no in /etc/LCDd.conf.
