Watched Recordings

[jathef]

The wife and I have interest in several shows but our schedules do not allow us to watch the recordings at the same time. It would be really helpful if we could look at the details of a recording to see if the other person has already watched the recording. Then the second person to watch the recording would know it is safe to delete the recording. This would make it much easier to keep our recordings cleaned up.

Here's what I am thinking for the feature... Somewhere in the config screen present an area to list names as users of the system. Then in the DVR application when you select a recording and are presented with options, list the users from the config screen with a check box (or some other flagged item). Then user could select their name if the show is a rerun or if they have just watched the recording to tell the other users of the system the recording can be removed.

Thanks!

Although not too easy to implement for an arbitrary number of "users", it would be quite useful!

Or even in the "play, cancel, keep, delete" menu - allow something like the 0-9 keys to flag up to 10 users as having seen the show (and the users having to remember their number).

Funny that - I've just posted a similar request (before I saw this) and my current non-GBPVR solution at http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=42107
