Hello all,
We primarily use manual recordings due to the poor US OTA EPG data.
There are a few things I would like to change or improve.
1. Restore date/time subtitle if subtitle is empty.
* I will be testing this over the next few days.
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/a28191023de31e36efaf23a2d837b4b1725ec73b
claims
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/5f6697ecfaf9bd7175aaf99b3ef07f884d5af65c
is at fault for this change.
2. As an option, or entirely, stop appending "(Manual Record)" to the
title of manual recordings.
* This would be easier to stop entirely, but I am open to keeping
it as an option.
* https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/06da3119d5a35af24df048d300f1240d48d9b3fb/mythtv/libs/libmyth/programinfo.cpp#L818
seems to be to blame for this, in my opinion annoying, behavior,
but I haven't yet tested changing it.
* I would keep the description still with "(Manual Record)".
3. Add the ability to set the subtitle when creating a manual recording
rule in mythfrontend.
* Would this require theme changes?
* I would also like to be able to add a counter to the subtitle,
but that will probably prove more involved that I want to do.
4. I'm not sure if this is easily possible, but I would like to be able
to return to the first screen to edit a recording rule's start time,
duration, title, etc instead of having to delete and create a whole
new rule.
Any thoughts or comments on these proposed changes would be appreciated,
especially on the last two.
Thanks,
Scott
