Error zapping in the EPG while during recording playback with preview mode disabled

Issue #570 resolved
Wade Coxon created an issue

If the user invokes the EPG during playback of a recording, and attempts to zap to a service with preview mode disabled, the EPG instead acts as if preview mode is enabled.

Reproduction steps.

Open the EPG and diable "Preview mode" via MENU->Settings

EXIT the EPG.

Play back a recording.

Press EPG.

Observe that the recording is still playing in the PiG.

Zap to a Live TV service.

Observe that the live TV service is now shown in the PiG.

Press EXIT.

Observe that the recording now resumes playback in fullscreen.

This behaviour acts as if "Preview mode" is enabled, which is incorrect.

If the same procedure is followed, but with the EPG "Preview mode" enabled, the same behaviour can be observed. In this instance, this behaviour is correct.

    This bug can be triggered in both the Graphical EPG and the Multi EPG. The InfoBar EPGs are always in "Preview mode", so the bug doesn't apply.

    You can disable Infobar EPG Preview mode. It has the options "Fullscreen", "PiP" and "Off".

    Indeed you can. I discovered how only a short while ago (different naming of the option seems to have made me blind to it). More testing, and the post of the fixes will have to wait til tomorrow (assuming the testing goes OK).

    I've confirmed that the InfoBar EPGs are also affected by this bug if the InfoBar EPG's MENU setting Channel preview mode is set to "Disabled".
