    Hi,

    because they are directly deleted, like hitting SHIFT+DEL. Moving to bin would be (imho!) a waste of HD space.

    Heh, yeah I did the same today. I went to Recorded TV and saw that the files I had deleted manually from the file system was still showing in the list here, so obviously it was listing some database entries and not the real list of files in the recorded directory. So I thought, I'd try the Cleanup option to see if that only refreshed - and accidentally clicked twice. :( - Saw now that the dialog asked if I wanted to delete all watched files.

    In general I find the Scheduled and Recorded options to be a bit confusing. I would have preferred a combined system where a "file" was scheduled until it was recorded, in which case clicking it would play the file.

    Also, having problems setting the directory of where Recorded TV should be put. Havnent found any option where I specify the directory of the recordings...

    configuration.exe

    => television, choose your tv-tuner and edit, the path is there.

Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...
