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.
