I was fiddling around with "config" today while in the background the recording service was capturing a show. When I hit OK, I had forgotten that I was recording something and it shutdown the recording service and restarted it - overwriting what had already been captured with a fresh start.
Is there any way you can add a check to see if the recording service is working, and if so, notify the user? Don't worry about saving their settings until the recording is finished, just pop up a box that says something like:
"To apply these settings, the current recording must be terminated and restarted. You will lose any video that has been captured up to this point." [OK], [CANCEL].
That way I can hit cancel, and then just wait until it's done recording and apply the settings then. If you want to add support where you save the settings until recording finishes, then apply the settings and restart the service, great, but it's a lot of extra work. A little notification would be great though!
Thanks!
