I havn't tested this version but I noticed in the first version that mouse clicks had no effect on OK and Cancel in the "Man-rec" popup.
No biggie as most use the remote, I presume, and there is an obvious workaround... But it would be good if this worked as well.

wow, excellent!!

Thanks Ailbert

I'm not sure if this is do-able but i'd love an option to have a play/resume popup prompt for recordings (the same way it works in videos). Having the resume button in the details box seems a bit fiddly and some of the time it's off the screen and i miss it completely. Either that or i just click play (out of habit) and screw up my bookmark. At the very least I think resume should be the default option when it's avalable.

+1 on the resume button always being default [highest] when it's available..
you can always restart a show if resumed by accident, but you can't get that bookmark back if you hit play by accident...
