MiniDisplay sometimes crash Mp when stopping TV/Video.

Steps to reproduce:
Start MP.
Goto TV.
Open a channel in fullscrean.
Stop using remote control.

I looked in the error log and found this:
Exception : System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MediaPortal.Player.BaseTSReaderPlayer.UpdateCurren tPosition()
at MediaPortal.Player.BaseTSReaderPlayer.get_CurrentP osition()
at MediaPortal.Player.g_Player.get_CurrentPosition()
at MediaPortal.ProcessPlugins.MiniDisplayPlugin.MiniD isplay.GetSystemStatus(SystemStatus& CurrentStatus)
at MediaPortal.ProcessPlugins.MiniDisplayPlugin.Drive rs.iMONLCDg.UpdateIcons()
at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context( Object state)
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionCon text executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()


The error does not happen every time so I would guess that the error is a timing error. The minidisplay pluging is updating at the same time as the player object is stopping.

I would propose to make the minidisplay code more robust so that it survives exceptions from other MP systems.
