v24.0.50 - Changed: Delete button is available again in Theater View on TV recordings that are still being recorded. This is a reversal of a change made in build 34.


Why is a delete button needed for a recording in progress? What is the purpose? What's supposed to happens when you click it? Didn't we find out that trying to delete a recording in progress from a client causes strange things to happen, like tuners locking up etc.

I always use this feature.  I'm recording a football game.  I tell it to record like 60 minutes past the end in case there's overtime.

But then the game ends and I just want to delete the file.  It stops the recording and deletes, so it's pretty slick!

This might work when doing it on the Server, but try it on a Client and strange things are (were) bound to happen...

Yeah, it has never worked from a client as far as I know.  Typically, it looks like it goes away, but it comes back.  At least last time I tried it.  I got used to just waiting.

For deletions to work, you would need to have authentication set up on the server.

[muzicman0]

it is.

I've already reported that concern to Yaobing. Hopefully, that will mean some functionality around handling the Client issues.

The simple "Stop then Delete" solution isn't enough when a Client is involved.

And on a similar note I was not able to cancel a recording from a client to free up and use the Colossus to watch another channel.  This should also be changed.
The client is authenticated with a username/pwd.

Delete button is also needed!.
thx
