Replying to [comment:9 kormoc]:
> That's the thing, they're showing two different sets of data. One is
showing the schedules and one is showing the upcoming programs to be
recorded. One is time centric and one is program/title centric.
As the one person who has reported this issue in the past five years, the
above sentence compels me to respond.
The relevant portions of mythfrontend and MythWeb are both titled Upcoming
Recordings. Each, of course, looks and behaves slightly differently from
the other, but only in ways that a Qt graphical application must differ
from an Ajax/PHP application. They offer the same information and permit
the same actions. In practice, users treat them as exactly synonymous,
with no need on their part to ever think of the nonsensical difference
between "time centric" and "program/title centric."
I admit that the usage case I raised is unusual, but that rarity is
exactly why the inconsistency between the two applications--that otherwise
behave, and are used, in exactly the same way--should be eliminated.
As I pointed out in the ticket, Backend Status (of all places) offers a
model of offering the most relevant information for the usage case. But if
all the data can't be displayed in the two Upcoming Recordings so
comprehensively, I do hope that MythWeb will be adjusted to agree with
mythfrontend, and not vice versa.
