• fixes to @hasImage/@isFolderWithNoPreviewImage skin settings in the Music Library
• fixed a problem where ACTIVATE_PLUGIN event could give slightly different parameters on MVP/NMT vs PC.

• fixed a problem where DVD playback could automatically restart on the next keystroke after previously stopping DVD playback when screen saver timeout period had expired.
• added ability to schedule to watch a future show. In TV Guide, press play on a show in the future and it'll highlight blue. App will start live tv and switch to that channel at the specified time. Pretty basic, no popup reminders on the screen.

• setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwaredevnzTSMuxBlockEncryp ted=1 (DWORD) will cause the TS Mux to discard encrypted packets rather than writing them to the file being recorded.
