[mythtv-users] mythweb - Activate button

[bobnvic at everestkc.net]

So what about the case where the 'keep x number of shows' is met.  What
does the activate button do in that situation?  

There are times that I have it only keep 5 shows, but I notice a particular
episode that I want to record.  I can change the number of shows to keep,
but if there are several other episodes airings between now and the one I 
want
I will have to record those too, then change it back to 5 shows to keep 
after it
records the one I want.  It would be nice for it to just override the setting 
on a
per-show basis and record that show.

I was hoping that the activate button functioned in this manner, but if not I'll
deal with it.  Mythtv certainly makes me want to learn to code though.  I
haven't done any programming since college about 17 years ago, and that 
was Pascal.  I may start with php though, I can think of quite a few things 
I'd
like to add to mythweb and it looks like it might be a little easier to pick 
up.
