Hijack v477 is now released.

New in this version:

• The Hijack Menu now has a "Kill / Pause Player" menu entry.
  When selected, this should immediately terminate the empeg player application, which will then restart in a "paused" mode. So if there's a bad track causing it to lock up, this should allow one to then escape from it by then pressing "next track" or "menu" or ...
  
  If the first attempt doesn't work, try it again --> on second and subsequent tries, Hijack does a forced SIGKILL rather than the tamer SIGTERM.
  
  
• The same "start up paused" sequence should also now happen when the player just randomly crashes -- you'll have to hit "Play" to continue after such crashes.
  

Tested by me, but not with any bad tracks or crashing player apps.
If you have a known bad track that normally locks up,
then please try this and report back.
