[mythtv-users] Feedback mythfrontend

[James Linder]

Peter I think you have done a stiring job of implimenting mythweb in webfrontend.
I offer a few thoughts that are neither requests nor criticsm, they may be things of interest.

I find the scope of the listings a tiny bit short. I think 2.5 hours would be nicer than 2 hours

[next] ships 2 hours, not 2 1/2

ie imagine

0600 .. 0830
[next]
0800 .. 1030
[next]
1000.. 1230

I quickly browse choosing categories of interest by colour eg movies in white. What I see is a sea of colourless guide items.

I record Aprogram

[diversion]
It must be my hardware but having virtual tuners results in 1 or  2 a week damaged recordings.
Setting no-virtual tuners and I have never had a damaged recording

The scheduler sets Aprogram to record on tuner one
and AprogramHD to record on tuner two

[mythweb] going to upcoming I can mark Aprogram as “Don’t Record” on webfrontend I see only “Cancel Recording” which is not what I want of course.

The archives will show that when webfrontend first appeared I made comment about garish and mobile phone set. So I get my just deserts!

Were I doing UI design I would flavour the categories of programguide by colour so as to  not trouble those who do not want but be of use to those who do.
A point to consider is 1 in 7 males are colour blind (there are many sorts of colour blindness the most common being red-green) and there are web standards about colour choices.

Finally (I’ve not looked a webfrontend code at all) can one use CSS ?

Cheers
James
