Feature Request - Option to disable 'STOP live TV' dialog (1 Viewer)

[scott_mckenzie]

Hi,

I got the solution which is what I should have done earlier - I bout a harmony remote. Problem solved!

Hi,

Just picked up my harmony remote yesterday. It works but IMHO it's a clunky solution. I would really like the feature of disabling this menu if possible.

Thanks - Scott

Just add multiple entries. Just for you, a screenshot with Stop, Stop, Standby:

you could conditionally map the stop button to stop+stop if current active window = full screen tv.

Yeah I tried what is listed in the above screenshot and it didn't work. I completely agree that is a better workaround than getting my harmony remote to send the stop, stop, power off signals.

scott: it did not work? That is strange, could you attach a debug log file with the action?

People have been asking to remove this timeshift-nag for years. Demand is not massive, but it keeps popping up. For me, I'm wondering why I have to educate my family on how to use a simple stop button.

I've used ForTheRecord and it does not ask for confirmation and users are not asking for it. MediaPortal does have a confirmation dialog and users do keep asking for years to remove it. Are there actual cases of users defending the confirmation dialog? I'm not aware of this. Are there other PVR's that have such a confirmation dialog? I don't know many, but I'm not aware of this.

For me, it does not solve a problem, it introduces a problem. I simply never have the problem that the confirmation tries to solve/avoid. But it introduces the problem that the stream keeps running (caused by pressing single stop when screen is already off). Wouldn't be the first time.

Why not make the confirmation dialog optional?

Because noone has done it yet... If someone makes a good patch I'm sure it will be included!

Fair enough. I decided to bite the bullet and post a patch: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/option-to-disable-stop-live-tv-dialog.116503/
