When radio is playing (no problem when it's not playing), my skins which has buttons that switch focus to 3rd party apps via the ACTIVATE command is either only working some of the time or causing RR CPU's utilization to shoot up to 99% and stays there for a while if I click on that button say 2-3 times.
Here's an example of my button code:

B,291,543,98,51,"ACTIVATE;PicViewerForRR||SENDKEY; {P}",Prev
B,392,543,98,51,"ACTIVATE;PicViewerForRR||SENDKEY; {N}",Next


The other problem is the station that is playing doesn't match what is highlighted/displayed by RR if you leave the RADIO skin, goes to MUSIC skin and back to RADIO skin.

Can't help with the first problem, I got same issue when using the plugin. Second problem has to do with SILABS hardware. The Silabs dongle remembers the last station its software was on before exiting and whenever it starts back up its tuned to that station. I assume the fix for this will have to be a RR code script that reloads the last station from radio.ini, but I haven't bothered to try to write one. It would really be better if it was in th RR source to reload last station.
