Delete option from Videos feature

[artmetz]

Occasionally I watch an external recording thru the Videos menu in NextPVR. It would be nice to have an option to delete the recording from that feature.

Did you try via the hidden menu?

Martin,
Thanks. If the menu is hidden, how do I find it? lol.
Ok, did a forum search and was reminded it's a long up arrow. Problem is, I'm down in a sub folder and the recording I watched loses selection. (screenshot)
Fortunately, my remote supports a Menu key (home) and that should do the trick (until I forget again - lol)
I guess I was hoping that interacting with a video would act like regular recordings (Play, unwatch, delete, etc).

I don't think nlite supported long keys, so I figure you are seeing top of list up. For my clients I consider a hidden menu key mandatory for several functions, EPG channel groups, recording list sort order (not every remote has a stop key), forget, archive. Ideally recordings could open a dialog like recordings but I think the hidden menu still needs to be available so after all these years of video library being this way, it can be low on the sub's list of priorities.

Yeah, I don't think it needs to be a high priority. Someday I'll post my high priority wishlist <g>

I delete videos (even those within a folder) by hitting left arrow (on my Harmony remote) while the title of the video that I just watched is still highlighted. This activates the menu, then I can right arrow over to "Delete" and press the "OK" key. Be sure to have "Confirm Delete" enabled, so that you don't accidentally something that you didn't mean to delete. After the video has been deleted, press the down arrow key to return focus back to the video listing.
