'Play All' button causes other buttons to move, then I accidentally delete shows.

Hopefully I can explain this properly...

 

When I login to my user account and see some of my wife's new episodes listed, I want to mark hers as 'Played'. So, I go to each one from 'Next Up' to check-mark them and the buttons take 2-3 seconds to fully populate. By then I've already cursor-ed right to the 'Played' button, and if my timing is right (it has been multiple times), 'Play All' will show up and the 'Delete' button will inadvertently be highlighted. I've deleted entire shows requiring a restore from the file server.

 

Is there a way to rearrange the buttons so that 'Delete' is part of the additional (...) and not the main ones, or remove the 'Play All' button because it shows up even if there's only (1) new episode?

 

Please let me know if I need to clarify.

We simply cannot win with the position of the delete button but...

There was a confirmation dialog you had to go through to do that, correct...?

 

Also...

Are you sure about that?  Next Up takes you to an episode screen.  There is no "Play All" and no way to delete an entire series from there...

 

You must be going from "Latest ...." and, therefore, ending up on a series screen.

 

As for the actual issue of the button appearance timing.  It is actually the "Play Next Up" button, I believe that is moving into place.  The only thing we could potentially do here is not display the screen at all until that button is ready but that would make everything appear even slower.

You're probably right about the episode screen, so it may have been 'Shows' I was in.

 

Yes, there's a confirmation, but reflexes take over sometimes since there's also the popup when marking shows as 'Played'...which seems to confirm that it happens when I'm in 'Show' and not 'Next Up'.

 

Sorry, I'll pay better attention next time. I was trying to go off of memory.

The other possibility - which is probably a better option - would be to ignore any key-presses until the screen is entirely ready.

I'd be fine with that, and it'd be good if you could keep a spinning circle going until ready too.

That's strange. @@vaise are you able to reproduce?

 

I only have delete for the recorded TV.

I cant say I have ever dont this series of events.

I have seen similar stuff on the shield however with the delay updating the buttons if I want to do something like this - but it is a play that is selected, not a delete.

That is very logical, on all clients too.
