#6098 closed patch (fixed)

channel changes don't show on frontend until buffer catches up

Description

If there is some amount of buffer in LiveTV, say after pausing for 10 seconds, then it takes that amount of time (10 seconds) to see video from the new channel after a channel change.

However long LiveTV was paused before changing channel is how long it takes to see the channel change. The channel change is executed immediately on the backend, however.

The attached patch should resolve this problem.

The livetv ClearSwitch?() call at the end of NuppelVideoPlayer::ClearAfterSeek?(..) was clearing the NeedsToSwitch/NeedsToJump? state before the switch could actually occur.
