[mythtvnz] mythtv-status

[Karl -skooobie]

So, there is a small bug. Andrew will be releasing a new version in the
next few weeks plus adding some other small fixes along the way. The
workaround if you want to use the YAML file is to search in mythtv-status
for the first occurrence of "encoder_skip_idle" and change the "||" to a
"//"
