-direct command line option

[jcole998]

I've had good success with launching NextPVR using the command line -Direct "Live TV" option after setting the channel in the registry. After the launch and live TV is visible, I get a message when I press the ctrl-K key to begin recording. The message asks "Are you sure you want to delete this recording?" and offers OK and Cancel. Clicking Cancel returns to normal viewing. Clicking OK also returns to normal viewing but now if I press ctrl-K, the familiar manual recording dialog appears.

Is this normal behavior? What recording is it asking me to delete? Is there more than one way to use the -direct option?

Thanks.

I just checked. I'm not seeing this here. Are you using your keyboard or a remote?

When I tried, it just said recording.

Is your timeshift set to 'time based' or 'epg based'

Hi, sub. Hope the trip was successful.

I'm using the keyboard and timeshift is set to time based.

Are you sure that is the exact text? I can only see this message in two places, one is in the Recordings screen, and the other is the Details popup, but I can't see any way for those to be involved in the sequence of events you describe.

Just remembered to do this, sub.

This is the dialog that pops up after pressing ctrl-K when NextPVR is launched with the live tv option:

Hope this helps.

On the Settings->Misc screen, what is your default activity set to? 'Main Menu' or something else?

[jcole998]

Settings -> Misc -> Startup -> Default Activity is "Recordings."

If you put it back to Main Menu, does the delete thing go away?
