... sorry, I am not sure if these are bugs or needed features, but I am struggling to set up TV recordings for the week using either a client and/or direct on the server. I can record logs for you but I suspect it is more of a GUI thing.
* I am in the TV Guide but there is no option to scroll further into the day.
* The "<.....>" advance to next day feature, does not show which day of the week it is on. It does display a date but that is not useful (In settings I do have the date format selected to show the day - "D").
* I select a program to record, then Extended Scheduling, then Record Series; then eg Daily. But cannot then change this - eg I select Dont Record; then Delete full series but only one day gets deleted and the other days are still showing as series record. I go out and then into Schedules and here I can delete the series but when I go back into the TV Guide they are still showing as series record.
Overall the skin and its layout is great but it is proving a challenge to set up. I found the main settings really hard to follow partly because I only later realised that some settings are hidden eg player settings only appear when a TV program is running making the settings layout look different whenever I go into it. For a time I went back to the default skin as that was a little more intuitive to work on the settings (but I could not re-find the option to change the number of lines in the TV Guide as they were squashed in the default skin hindering troubleshooting).
Perhaps there also needs to be a popup to say to restart MP2 to force changes after editing the menu as some actions do not display until restarted.
But I am enjoying this.
