I've noticed that new EyeTV recordings do not always appear in the recordings menu. When this happens they can be made to appear by navigating to the top level menu. Perhaps every time the recording menu is displayed it could re-check the recordings (including any new ones started by schedule that are still recording).

I was able to replicate this by entering the recordings menu and then using the menu button to exit. Then start a new recording. Hit menu and it doesn't show up. Navigate up to the high level and bak down to recordings and up it shows.

the current design of Remote Buddy's menu does not allow for the 
currently displayed list to be updated. Navigating up one level and 
then again down a level (basically, if you are in the Recordings, 
press left, then right) should update the list, though.

I hope to find a better solution in the future.

as you say left/right updates it in all scenarios I can think to test.

How about just bumping the level left when a user toggles menu on the recordings list (while you work out a nice way how to address) ?

thanks for letting me know.

I actually thought of a solution while being on the road today. It'll 
be in perfect harmony with other concepts in Remote Buddy.

Went directly on the ToDo list ;-)

One small thing about the recordings list - it would be even better if it had an icon to show when there is one or more recordings in the list that are not shown on the screen (due to screen space).

thanks for sharing.

However, I don't directly understand what you want to see implemented 
exactly. A symbol on the foot of the menu that shows if there are 
more unshown items - or a way to quickly figure which recordings have 
not been viewed/played, yet?

thanks!

I've thought about that before, but concluded that with the current 
menu display concept - one selection bar in the middle and the 
entries scrolling by - this would be duplicate information, as, when 
you have reached the last entry, you can also see there are none to 
follow.

I'm actually raising the case when you first bring up a large list of recordings and say 6 recordings are displayed (due to size or default) but there are another 3 off screeen (not shown).

There is no indicator that there are more and hence nothing to hint one should be bothered scrolling through the list.

This tripped up my wife who was convinced her scheduled recording failed (as she couldn't find it in the list). So I said - just always reemember to scroll through the list to check there are no other recordings off-screen ..

I was thinking a little ".." or similar to say the list continues (off screen) ?

cheees, 
chris

thanks for sharing.

I've added it to the ToDo list and will think about it :-) .. I see 
that it could be useful for some users, but in general it would only 
clutter the interface (for the nerdy ones ;-) .. may I'll add it and 
make it an option .. there's a new, perfect place for this kind of 
options in RC2 ;-)
