On the main page of leanfront, the entries on the left are Recording
Groups. This is not the same as categories or playback groups. You can
set a recording group in the record rule for future recordings. You can
also move recordings to a new group with leanfront, with the web
frontend or with mythfrontend.

Okay, thanks. I got a Recording Group created for "News" using
mythfrontend. Only way I could figure out how to do that.

Then using mythfrontend I could edit the recording rule for a news
program to assign it's Recording Group to News.

With leanfront:
From the recording list, press enter to get the details page for the
recording.
Other Actions -> Update Recording Group -> Create New Entry (Last item
in the list).

WIth web app:

Recordings -> Click 3 dots on a row -> Program Name -> Change Recording
Group -> Type a new name into the text field at the top

_To change an entire series_:

WIth leanfront:
From recording list, press Menu on the program title in the left
column. If you have no menu key, long press Enter. Select Update
Recording Group -> Create New Entry (Last item in the list), or select
the desired group name.

WIth web app:
Select multiple entries using shift-click (for a range)  or
control-click (for discrete entries). Right click in the list or click
the 3-bars icon at the top left of the list. Select :Actions on n
selected recordings", Change recording group. Type or select the group
name desired.
To make it easier, you can first filter by the program name then select
everything that is found (click top entry, page down to end, shift-click
last entry)

Wow, thanks. New features to me on Leanfront. I'm going to print your
email out and keep on the table next to my TV recliner.
