leanfront marks recordings as watched when you play or forward to the 
end. It marks them unwatched when you start watching again. Perhaps this 
is not the best way. This is inconsistent with mythfrontend, but I did 
not have another way of resetting the watched indicator. I have not 
figured out how to add a menu yet.

The sort is by original air date and then the recording date. The idea 
is that if something was recorded on a rerun you will still see it in 
the original sequence. If both dates match there is only one date 
displayed. If they are different the recording date is not in 
parentheses and the original air date is displayed in parentheses. Does 
the pilot show two dates, one in parentheses? Perhaps the original air 
date is wrong or missing on some episodes.

Refresh is a bit of a problem. It should refresh once per hour but only 
on the main screen (the one that has the recording groups on the left an 
the MythTV icon at the top). If you are on a group screen (group name or 
All at the top) it would not refresh. So you should only need to back 
out as far as the main screen. Perhaps that is not working.
