    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.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...
