[mythtvnz] mythtv-status

[Karl -skooobie]

Actually after checking I can see the YAML variables being used for colour
and encode_details but not the encoder_skip_idle. When I used the command
line it is okay and all three get used, just not with myth-status.yml. I've
raised this question with Andrew.
