No resume on menu with "Prompt for resume"

[bungle]

Currently, if "Prompt for resume" is on, resume still shows on the recording menu (Play, Resume, Delete, Exit). Just for the sake of having Delete one fewer button presses away, I'd like to see the resume option go away, since I'll be prompted for resume on Play anyway (more like older versions). Very minor, though - doesn't matter much either way.

<UseMenuResumeButton>false<UseMenuResumeButton> in config.xml

If you have this setting set to 'true' then you wont be prompted when playback begins - you only chance to resume is clicking the resume button.

If you have it set to 'false' then you'll be prompted when playback starts.

Sorry - maybe I wasn't clear. I've seen that setting and understand the difference. What I'm saying is that since I have "Prompt for resume" on, it asks me when I play to resume. However, I don't want the resume button to show up on the main menu anymore, because I use Play to resume, not Resume. It's somewhat redundant on the menu. I want Delete to be the second button, because then it's closer and fewer clicks away. I really don't use resume much - mostly play and delete, and the Resume is in my way. Again, this is very minor, just thought I'd ask.

The resume button is only added to the menu if you have both <PromptForResume>true</PromptForResume> and <UseMenuResumeButton>true<UseMenuResumeButton> in config.xml

If you set <UseMenuResumeButton>false<UseMenuResumeButton>, then you should only see the 'play' button, and when you begin playback you will be prompted if you want to resume.

Oh, then I misunderstood you. Cool, thanks for the foresight then.

Just to stick my oar in, I'd rather have the 'Resume' option on the menu and not be prompted when I start to play a file.

Could you not just have the <UseMenuResumeButton> option control whether you have the 'Resume' button displayed in the menu and the <PromptForResume> option control whether you're prompted when you start playing a clip? That way everyone can be happy

BTW I've been using GB-PVR for the past couple of months with a Hauppauge Nova-T USB2, and now the combination of the latest 2.4 drivers for the Nova-T, GB-PVR 9516, and Birtles XMLTV Gui Grabber, everything is pretty much working like a dream. Well Impressed! Keep up the good work.

Set both <PromptForResume> and <UseMenuResumeButton> to "true", and that is exactly what you'll get.

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply, Sub.

If I set both <PromptForResume> and <UseMenuResumeButton> to "true" then I get the 'Resume' option on the menu AND I'm asked if I want to resume if I choose to 'Play' the clip.

Just to clarify;-

1. With <PromptForResume> true and <UseMenuResumeButton> true I HAVE the 'Resume' option on the menu AND I'm asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option.

2. With <PromptForResume> true and <UseMenuResumeButton> false I DON'T HAVE the 'Resume' option on the menu BUT I'm asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option.

3. With <PromptForResume> false and <UseMenuResumeButton> true I DON'T have the 'Resume' option on the menu AND I'm NOT asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option.

4. With <PromptForResume> false and <UseMenuResumeButton> false I DON'T have the 'Resume' option on the menu AND I'm NOT asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option. (same as No. 3)

What I would like is to have the 'Resume' option on the menu - so I can resume if I want to - but not be asked if I want to resume or restart if I choose the 'Play' option.

It's only a minor niggle, but if you do find you have a few free minutes . . .

That doesnt sound correct. You shouldnt get the prompt when playback starts.

2. With <PromptForResume> true and <UseMenuResumeButton> false I DON'T HAVE the 'Resume' option on the menu BUT I'm asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option.

3. With <PromptForResume> false and <UseMenuResumeButton> true I DON'T have the 'Resume' option on the menu AND I'm NOT asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option.

4. With <PromptForResume> false and <UseMenuResumeButton> false I DON'T have the 'Resume' option on the menu AND I'm NOT asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option. (same as No. 3)

These are all correct.

What I would like is to have the 'Resume' option on the menu - so I can resume if I want to - but not be asked if I want to resume or restart if I choose the 'Play' option.

This is what (1) above is supposed to give you.

Well, I've just checked (again!) and with <PromptForResume> true and <UseMenuResumeButton> true I get the 'Resume' option on the menu and I'm asked if I want to resume or restart when I choose the 'Play' option from the menu. Sorry!

I re-installed GB-PVR a couple of weekends ago (when I found the Birtles XMLTV GUI Grabber) and did a thorough cleanout before re-installing. (Removed the Devnz directory, cleaned out the relevant sections of the registry, etc.) So I don't think it can be a leftover from a previous version.

I'm also using the standard Blue skin and no additional plug-ins, so I don't think there can be any conflicts there.

Anyway, like I said, it's only a minor niggle.
