Yeah, I noticed that report after I posted.

Well, its your plugin so your call. I can see how it would work better
this way on a hardware player, I have an SB Radio but must admit I never
use its UI - too small. But on a software controller it just feels odd.
Could the 'More' menu method not be used for certain UIs? e.g. software
control points (e.g. Material, iPeng, SqueezeCtrl) could pass
"softwarecp:1" (or some such string) as part of the JSONRPC request -
when you receive this then make episode playable, and add items to
"More" ???
