Reorder Recurring Records Using Only Keyboard

[EmptyInTheHead]

I use NextPVR on a system without a remote control. I can't figure out how to change the order of my recurring recordings using only the keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.

recurring recordings can't be re-ordered at all, by any method. priority is the order created, and they're displayed only in that order.

Missed the "recurring" part by skim reading again.

Uh, this is from the Wiki manual...

"The list of recurring programs that will record. Recurring recordings will be assigned a priority based on the order of your list with the highest priority going to the programme listed at the top. You can change this priority by using the up\down keys to highlight the programme that you want to give more or less priority to and then use the skip\replay buttons to move the programme up or down the list."

Does this documented feature not really exist?

if that's ever been implemented it's news to me. that's how it worked in the old GB-PVR app, so it was probably just copied over from the old wiki without anyonce checking. I'm not at home right now so I can't double-check that it really doesn't work.

the keyboard equivalent of the listed buttons are ctrl-left_arrow and ctrl-right_arrow.

Since Ctrl-left & Ctrl-right don't seem to do anything, I'm assuming that this feature is not implemented. That's a shame because I really would like to prioritize my recurring schedule. I have four tuners, but every once in a while, I have a conflict that would be better resolved if priorities were changable.

It's on sub's list of things to implement one day, but I'm not sure how high up it is. For now all you can do is delete a recording who's priority is too high, and recreate it which will give it the lowest priority. Unless of course you'd like to dig into the SQL database and mess with the recordings directly... but I take no responsibility for damage done that way.

Other than messing up the SQL database, one can also export the recordings to the xml file and edit the xml file.

How would you import the XML file back into the database?
