I think that the only one who said that it worked was a user that didn't
know what version he was running. And it has worked for me with master,
until i updated maybe a week ago. Before that there had been several weeks
since i updated, so i cant be of much help there to when it stopped
working. Sometimes between Christmas and late February.
If i enter MythVideo on level 1, as i have selected in the settings, and
all videos are shown. If i press 2 to change to level 2, and now my level 3
and 4 videos disappear as it should have been from the beginning. To me it
feels like something is broken. If it was a setting that i had somewhere
that is wrong, then it wouldn't help for me to manually change to level 2.
Level 3 and 4 videos would always be shown.
