Placeshifter starts playing channels when stopping video

[Mortanis]

Strange one here. If I watch a pre-recorded show on my placeshifter client, then stop it before the end, the placeshifter will automatically start watching LiveTV on whatever channel the show I was watching was recorded on. And, worse, even if I stop that recording, it starts again seconds later. And will not stay stopped.

For example, I start watching an episode of Mythbusters, recorded last wednesday. I watch for a few minutes, then decide I'll watch it later. I stop the recording. A few seconds later channel 9, the channel that Mythbusters recorded on for me, starts going as the active file from Live TV. If I then stop it, it will automatically start up again after 5 or so seconds.

If I then watch some UFC recorded on Spike, then stop it, it will start recording channel 57, the channel that UFC was on.

And every time i stop these phantom recordings, they automatically start up again, no matter what screen I am on, without my intervention.

video menu options are set to 'Always' -- ie always play some video when displaying menus, so when playback of a recording is stopped, it will revert to livetv

Right-click on a menu screen, and set the video menu options to 'If Active'. It's also in the detailed setup somewhere, and in the config wiz.

Well, that was suprisingly easy. Many thanks!
