Are the record priority feature implemented? I tried to look for it on the forum, and found this article that mentions "Fast, Normal and Resolve" options, but I can't find that so I guess it changed somewhere down the line. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/questions_conflictmanager-t21106.html?t=21106

If it is implemented, does a lower value indicate higher priority?

Is it me, or is it impossible to set the priorities through the mediaportal interface? I had to change the values in the database directly, but I doesn't seam to change behavior.

Thanks for any help,

    From checking my logs it would seem that the higher the value the higher the priority.

    I would also like to see the priority adjusable from the TV setup.

    How did you change the database, was it MS-SQL you are using and which fields?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, I use mysql for the database.

    I thought about this and realize the priority feature might be implemented in a few ways. I would have liked it to work like this:

    When a higher priority program conflicts with a lower priority program, then the lower priority program should stop recording. Thus preempting.

    If the priority feature is implemented I think that higher priority programs do not interrupt currently recording programs, at least that is not the behavior I'm getting.

    And I changed the fields with phpMyAdmin.

    Fields: In the schedule table, the priority field.
