Hello @ge2301 ,

When recording multiple episodes of a show, the recording screen is consolidating these in one folder and displays the number of individual episodes. However, there is no distinction of a standard reording and a folder structure - see screenshot

Can the display be adjusted in such way that the folders are displayed differently?

It's possible of course. The problem is only in ListView. Any idea how to distinguish? Would it be enough to have a small folder symbol in front of the "3"?

One can imagine different approaches, e.g. another font. The folder symbol is certainly a good thing to add. MP1 is putting the thumbnails in front of the recording titles and therefore the folder symbol is used instead of the thumbnail. Currently we only display thumbnails for the selected list item, which in that case could then also be replaced by the folder symbol.

In the end it's not a big thing. Adding the folder symbol in front of the "3" (or maybe instead with the embedded content?) would IMHO be sufficient. It would be great if you also displayed the folder instead of the thumbnail for the selected list item.

I have my Setup TV for Series with a custom setting, this breaks down the shows into
Channel / Series Name / Series Show Name

The break-down is not a technical problem - clicking on the consolidated name gets you one level deeper. We are simply talking about a visual thing where the folder is displayed in the same manner as a standard recording with the episode count showing like a duration. The situation changes when switching to medium list view, yet the design is not 100% stringent.



As I said above: it's minor. Generally speaking I would like to see a folder symbol with the same dimension as the thumbnail in each view. For the small list view a symbol (with an embedded count) instead of the episode count would be perfect.

Hi @ge2301 , some more minor stuff

After having finished watching a series/movie, the watch status remains at "partial" (see screenshot). There appears to be a progress calculation error, maybe a rounding issue.



The effect is the same in all themes.

Works perfectly here. @Lehmden did you face such problem?

That is not possible, because the thumbnail width is variable according to the video aspect. I do not want to stretch the folder symbol, but leave it uniformed. Actually it's consistent as it is, because "small grid view" is intended for minimalists without images and icons. I could only imagine to add a small folder symbol. I'll try and show a screenshot.

Works perfectly here.

Some more info:if I stop the watching shortly before the end of the file, the status is changing to wached (I have a 90% threshold). It's only if I let the player reach the end of the file that I am getting the effect.

This applies to a true client/server setup, i.e. not single seat, which I didn't test.

Hi.

did you face such problem?

In Recordings section: yes, anywhere else: no.
In recordings the "eye" is not predictable. Sometimes it shows "Watched" after playing only one second of the recording and sometimes it shows "partially watched" after playing the recording until the end...
Recordings are not for "general" usage here. I only watch things from inside recordings that will be deleted instantly after watching. Some sort of "extended timeshifting" to be independent from program directors to watch what I want at the time I want...

Everything else is edited and transcoded and added to "real" media sources (movies, series or videos), that's why I didn't care about at all... But it's a not wanted behavior, probably call it a bug...

Proposal for Win10: currently the same font is used for watched and unwatched episodes. The only distinction is the watched icon behind the episode name. We could display the (un)watched episodes in a different color or maybe use bold chars.
