Peter,
You work with new web based setup is fantastic!
I stared to think how to make it even better :-p
From very casual user (my Wife) really beloved feature might be: template based scheduling with listings filtering by category.
Example coming from my mind:
- top of Program Guide page has set of radio buttons where each radio button is program category.
- me may go with sunset of most used categories (movies, news, soap, children, talk, documentary, food, travel, etc)
- pressing button gives epg with only programs with given category
then
- pointing mouse on given program gives hover with list of predefined recording templates
- moving mouse pointed to given entry on hover then clicking left mouse button schedules recording accordingly to sleeted template
Of course we may consider to implement above in phases.
So - as first steep - i would say what various users from my community saying about most welcomed feature:
scheduling by templates (for mythfrontend - https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/issues/330 <https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/issues/330>)
Rationale:
MythTV is far best PVR.
So lets make most used action (scheduling) most easy.
IMHO templates are really effective tool to do above.
So i can imagine:
-user creates set of desired recording templates (per family member, or per watching habits or per content type, etc).
-in new web based setup in epg (and also in mythfrontend maybe) - when user selects given program - popu-up appears and first, top option
is dropdown list with templates.
With above - convieninet scheduling of desired programs might be just 3 clicks from top menu:
1. click to "program guide”
2. click on desire program. pop-up appearing.
3. click on desired recording template in pop-up drop-down (which is on top of popup - so scrolling is not needed…)
Above are just food for thought….
