mike3821 61 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Can we please have the record button corrected. If you have it setup to record a series, it should state it. However, you can keep hitting record series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi can you go over an example of what you're seeing? A couple of screen shots if possible would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it now. Maybe because I am on the beta app now. On this topic however, I think we should get a pop up when selecting the record button while watching to include a polio option to select one time recording, series recording and the options to select new shows and such. As of right now, if you hit record it just starts recording, then you have to hit it again for series. To modify the series, you need to back out go to series and adjust options for only new episodes. Which then leaves a partial recording of the currently playing episodes. This is messy.

Luke 37011 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Seems to be working as expected in my quick testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 You would setup series recording from the guide itself. Choosing record while watching is only a one item recording since that's what you're watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it should pop up to ask for one time, series and if you select series it will present you with all options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37011 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 We modeled it after WMC, which does not prompt you with a dialog when clicking record series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It prompts like you mentioned, but when you hit record series it doesn't ask you for additional options. It will just either record all or new depending if the show is new or old? I would assume it should pop-up for you to select the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 @ebrI was just looking at this on ATV and the series options seem to be missing. The only way I see now to change this is the SERIES tab which isn't ideal. Can you take a look at this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expected behaviour would be “series recording already schedule” and not keep dropping in the series multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is designed to just follow the default settings for series recordings. If you want to change them, then you go back and adjust them after you set it up. When we put this in a few years ago, we made sure to follow exactly what WMC did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 But it's different then the web app, theater, etc But more troubling is that on ATV if you click a show you get a PLAY, RECORD SERIES & RECORD option. So you set it to record series and the grid gets a red dot. Select it again and you get the same option but not a CANCEL SERIES option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The same options exist in Android TV. One issue I see is that you may need to move off of the guide entry and then back onto it right after setting it to record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I knew it was there but a couple quick tests weren't working. Yes it's some type of refresh issue. As you say you can button up or down to a different entry and then go back and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can look at it but, for now, if you simply move off of the guide entry and then back onto it, you won't be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 @ebrIt works correctly in 2.0.18g One comment however is the 6 buttons on the popup pag actually go off the page a smidge on both ends but are very visible. Lot of buttons on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
