Features in ver 1 from .9x

[matthrolf]

I know sub said he would get around to adding some of the features back, but maybe we can reduce his workload by if some are not listed he does not have to include them again.

What features do you want to make sure are carried forward?

The ones I have noticed are:

1. Shading on the top of the guide to show time when something is scheduled to record.
2. Search guide.
3. I read in another post that you removed support for the colored keys, but a feature that I used very often was tied to the red button in the recording listings: Reverse date sort.
4. Live guide (mini guide) when playing a recording.

(2) I do miss.
I hadn't noticed (1) until you mentioned it - then realised I'd subconsciously gone back to the old interface by right-clicking in the tray icon. I do most of my planning of recordings on the PC screen and watching via MVP's

Net Radio over the MVP for sure

Date-sort in the video library. The green button on the mpv remote.

(I have two capture computers with a single tuner each.
Date-sort was the only way to find new shows recorded from the second system.) MIA since version 96.xx, thank god for my videos.

DVD (vob) playback from the library works.
But with no navagation buttons, and no way to exit the video.

My list:

1 .The blue button on livetv windows (show info). It´s still working the same way with video library.

2. Custom Tasks

3. Inset video

The new UI looks great but I miss the -noframe and -pos command line options. They allowed me to run multiple instances. Different icons could be used to start GB PVR in different sizes and even on separate monitors. Sometimes I watched on the main monitor downstairs and at other times watched on the TV out on the upstairs TV. At present I have to edit config.xml to switch screens.

The command line options appear to be missing even in GBPVR.exe so a reinstall of v99.12 may be required :-(

This seems to be stuck at 2 hours across the screen. I'd got used to using 6 hours on v0.99.12

I miss #1 a lot. It's annoying to go through the steps to setup a new recording only to be told something else is scheduled.
I would love it if there was a full bar at the top that would tell you the name of the show scheduled to record.

I also miss the "system" screen. I just installed a new 500G hard drive and I want bask in the glow of all that available space.

Yes, (1) needs to come back, I like the idea another mentioned above having the show's name listed as well

(2) is still there, just not on the main menu. Go into the TV Guide, then hit the Guide button on your remote and the search screen will come up.

(4) This is my top missing feature.

#3 still seems to work for me in the recordings screen as well.
