[mythtv-users] Use of videos

[Rob Willett]

That would be good.

I'm still trying to understand why this behaviour is so. I would have thought
having it displayed every time is correct AND if there is meta data use that as

I'll have a look around to get real time refreshes but would be greatful for any
tips. Nothing comes to mind from what I have seen to date.

Rob.
