 Sadly, config_SaveConfigFile cannot be used that way as it will save randomly
modified settings as well (at least as long as config_Put* is in use in

Qt/EPG: Try to display intelligently the short and long event description with the dedicated widgets.

It depends of the channels. Some use only the short one, others only the long one and others both.

http-interface: - changed logic so playlist is only downloaded initially and on modification of playlist

no longer re-downloads playlist on each item change (this was causing
significant delays (>10sec) in the http service with large playlists).. now,
the playlist UI is updated locally based on information returned from
status.xml

large playlists can take >10 seconds to load. since the xmlhttp object is
common within the page, multiple /status.xml requests would occurr (1 per sec)
before the playlist was loaded cancelling the /playlist.xml request.. i moved
the xmlhttp request object to a global variable. it's now checked to see if
there are any outstanding/active requests before submitting a new request. -
improved playlist display of large playlists.

module_need(). This only makes sense if you are sure that the plugin
will accept the object parameters. In other words, do not change any
object parameter that could influence the plugin probing decision.
