Thanks for the new version - at a surprising time. ;)

Just a note: The tar file includes a 0-byte epg.data file and an empty themes sub-folder.

• cSkins::Message() now blocks calls from background threads (thanks to Michael Eiler for reporting a crash in such a scenario).

Unfortunately, this will break the osdserver-plugin, that does call these directly from the network interface thread - though not without first locking the main thread in a safe state.

I'll see if I can work around this, or if I can come up with some other solution.

Actually cSkins::QueueMessage() is supposed to be used for issuing messages from a background thread.
