			== Using Switchback ==

			The Switchback list of recently played media can be accessed the same way as any other video plugin - by clicking on its icon.

			Of course, the point is for faster switching without much/any navigation, so you're best off binding a remote/keyboard key for super fast switching.

			Accessing the Switchback list:

			* You can access the full Switchback list (and remove anything in there if you want) - as you would access any Video addon.
			* Ideally, for one touch instant switching that resumes right where you left off, bind a remote/keyboard key to this Switchback command, e.g. this binds the SomeButton button:
			<SomeButton>PlayMedia(plugin://plugin.switchback/?mode=switchback,resume)</SomeButton>
			* Or, if you prefer for it to display the Switchback list (i.e. list of recently played things) and then select from there, use:
			<SomeButton>RunAddon(plugin.switchback)</SomeButton>

|Description=
Kodi utility for fast switching between recently played media.

Keeps a list of recently played media - supports Kodi library episodes, movies, PVR channels, songs and non-library files. Does not (yet?) support add-ons or PVR recordings.

The primary intended use is to make for super easy Switchback between two in progress videos (by binding a remote key to Switchback, see Wiki/Forum thread for info).

Consider this scenario:
- You are watching 'video A' with your partner. You are interrupted and your partner needs to tend to the kids/howl at the moon.
- You navigate to 'video B' and watch some of that.
- Your partner comes back.
- You hit your one button 'Switchback' and 'video A' starts playing again, no need for tedious navigation etc.
- You are interrupted again - the moon is so very bright tonight - hit your 'Switchback' to resume 'video B' immediately, again with one magic button and no tedious navigation.
