Watch Recording Buttons?

Is it possible to add a row of buttons like in the linked example?
http://www.gunaxin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/drawing.png

Basically, I'd like to create a theme with a 3rd buttonlist on the
watch recording screen.
In the above example, with a show on the right selected, you could
press right again and then you'd be able to select an info button, a
menu button, and a related recordings button. They would open the info
menu, the menu menu, and either jump to current series' group or pop
up another screen showing only the recordings of the current series
respectively.

I was just wondering if this was even possible, before I attempted anything.

Hi Fred,

Not in a theme alone, you'd need to write code to create more optional
buttons and to add whatever functionality you'd want to attach to
them. It sounds somewhat like what Stuart has in mind for touchscreen
capability in MythUI, though, which is essentially a "touch OSD" that
can pop up on gesture/touch/whatever and add some context sensitive
buttons/a faux remote/whatever.

Thanks for the quick response Robert.

You're right that does sound similar, or at least the buttons/actions
could be the same.
I might take a look at the code, though it's been 9 years since I've
written anything so I'm a little rusty.

Even the effort is often/usually appreciated and even if it's
unappliable, I can speak for myself and say I tend to implement
feature requests that come with an attempt over ones that are just
feature requests. :)
