Hi All...

I am on the verge of pulling out the rest of my hair with this silly
QDateTime issue. I have no problems running the channel_change script from
the terminal window, but still no go from within Myth. Any of the legions
before me who have the IR working with Myth have ANY trouble along these
lines? Or at least somewhere a guy can look to troubleshoot? Environment
variables? Planet alignment? You name it - I'll look... Thanks a bunch!!

Cheers!

Cory
