Figuring out a couple of UI issues... (1 Viewer)

[Peter Mee]

Been using MP for a while now but there are a couple of tasks that I cannot figure out how to do.

I'm on MP 1.6 with ArgusTV back end, MCE remote, Titan extend theme.

1. Go full-screen with video

Sometimes I end up on the main menu with video playing in a tiny thumbnail at the top (current movies, live TV etc). I cannot figure out how to jump to this video full screen. I end up navigating through the menus and restarting the media. There must be a better way?


2. Batch Delete TV Recordings

My son recently set up series record for the world cup. This means we never missed a match. This also means I have a World Cup fielder filled with lots of programmes. To delete these, I need to select each in turn, hit 'i' on remote, choose delete, choose confirm, rinse & repeat.

Is there a better way to delete a number of TV recordings at the same time?

Pointers appreciated.

HI Peter,

1) To change between full screen and gui use red button on remote if you have the coloured buttons or X on a keyboard, If you don't have coloured buttons on your remote its also possible to map another button.

2) As far as I know within the gui there is no quick way to delete multiple recordings, If I have to do this I usually just delete them from my recordings folder and that will also delete them from your recordings in MP straight away too.

Hope that helps

Thanks so much Rich.

I'll try out the red button this evening.

I'm happy to delete the files manually but I really don't want the rest of the family to have to do that - would prefer it all done via UI. Might add a request.
