    All of the skins (apart from DefaultWideHD) show the red dot on the info OSD if the channel being watched is the channel being recorded.
    Oops! Have to check and "repair" ;) Besides that, red dot is showing on all panels in the upper middle if recording is running ;)

    Then catavolt,
    What will be your approach ?
    Same as some others skins or, put red dot in all video OSD in all case when at least, one channel is recorded ?
    An improvement would be to put number of channels recorded next to red dot but, this suppose surely C# code modification.

    Well, unfortunately encountered some "bugs" in skin engine :oops::whistle:
    First of all we have no property for an ongoing recording - #player.recording is not implemented.
    Second: The properties #TV.RecordedTV.Channel, #TV.RecordedTV.Time, and #TV.RecordedTV.Genre are only populated (and have the appropiate values) when/after opening the TV Recordings screen (mytvrecordedtv.xml).
    Therefore we cannot check whether #TV.RecordedTV.Channel has a value (or is empty) in the OSDs.
    This leads to the fact that at the moment we cannot display any TV recording information within the OSDs (except in TVOSD.xml and tvZAPOSD.xml).
    Even in the TV Pause OSD it is not foreseen to put a red dot :cry:
    So would it be worth to change this behaviour? Devs please :whistle:
    BTW: Attached are the corrected xmls now showing the red dor where it is possible ;)
