 Hi,
 This is the first time I've ever posted a ticket so here goes:

 Using SVN15741 on Fedora Core 8 on a Athlon XP-M 32-bit system.

 I've started using SVN, after a few months getting used to Mythtv using
 Mythdora 4. Now using a fresh install of Fedora Core 8 on a formatted HDD
 (so no old code hanging around). Receivers: Two Hauppage Nova-T's.

 I'm in the UK, on DVB-T, and the main reason for trying SVN is the
 multirec feature. In mythtv-setup I allowed 3 streams per DVB card, so I
 see 6 encoders on Mythweb's status page.

 I wanted to see 'just how many' DVB-T streams I could record
 simultaneously.  I started to set up recordings on Mythweb for programs
 which were on at that moment, so recordings started immediately. So I
 started picking them at random without working out which were on each
 multiplex. I got to four (I think), which puzzled me why I could not get
 six. Perhaps I had made bad choices since I hadn't tried to pick the same
 multiplexes. I didn't try to go further to saturate the encoders.

 But the issue I'm reporting is that using Mythweb, I could not command the
 recordings to stop - whichever way I tried. On the Upcoming Recordings
 page, click the 'Delete' button on the right hand side of the entry in the
 list.  On the programme details page, click the 'Delete' button. Neither
 of these worked. Didn't try the Delete+Rerecord as that wasn't what I
 wanted to do. Backend Status still showed it apparently still recording
 away. The machine is elsewhere in the house, so I couldn't see the HDD
 lights.

 I eventually managed to get recordings to stop by Deleting the mpeg file
 from the 'Recorded Programs' page. That caused the Backend Status page to
 update and as I deleted all the mpeg files, the encoders were freed up.

 I haven't tried anything from the front end, just from Mythweb.

 So this is a problem, as although I could stop the recordings, if I had
 wanted to view the programs, I couldn't as I'd just deleted the mpeg
 files...

 Perhaps the multirec merge has caused a problem in this area? I never used
 to have a problem with Mythdora (but I know that's well behind SVN).

 I hope this gets picked up by the right people, cheers,
 Simon.

 Hello Simon,

 Can you check current revision now so we are sure it's not the
 visibility.js error?
