Manual recording does not work (1 Viewer)

[matejdro]

I'm having problems with manual scheduled recording (where I'm supposed to specify time of the recording, for example when channel does not have EPG).

When I go into Recording and press New button, both "Quick record" and "Advanced record" buttons won't do anything (Nothing happens when I click on them).

Any idea what is wrong? Logs are included (I started up MP, went to New recording, pressed both buttons and exited).

This seems to be the cause. Any ideas?

The code in TvPlugin is so sad that my eyes hurt, like million places where things can go wrong.

Better fix it then

I know my comments won't help anyone since the damage has already been done. Just be careful when trying to fix these issues.

Is there anything I can do to help this issue? Maybe there is a way to enable line numbers in error messages or something to help you debug?

First task is to get someone else to confirm the problem - @Testers anyone ? - then get it into our bugtracker system.

Quite true....

I have done a quick test, and I was able to set a quick recording here with no problems.

Can't reproduce with/without EPG. Both buttons working fine here and show the channels available for recording.

** EDIT **
But there seems to be a focus issue with the channel list popup.

1. Enter Scheduled Recordings
2. Hit New button
3. Select Quick Record
4. When the channel list opens, click outside MP GUI
5. now click GUI again to regain focus and see navigation is stuck

Only was to get out of here is with ESC, so somehow the overlay isn't closed when you click outside MP, and when you regain focus, something is 'stuck'.

** EDIT2 **
The above is now fixed, TNX Seb

I can't confirm/reproduce the issue too but i can confirm focus issue and i know where it comes from
It comes from with the MinimzeToTray fix introduce in 1.4.0, all focus is disposed even if minimize to try is not involved.
I have an another fix for it.

So it's not related to this issue but when trying to reproduce it, we discover a child issue of MinimzeToTray fix.
