Learn by doing... or so I thought!
I would like to change the screen "Watch Live TV: Out of inputs"
to have a list of in-progress recordings that you could switch
to or cancel. I'm wondering which is the best way:
Option 1: When the RequestRecorder fails, ping the database
for candidates and handle accordingly.
Pro: No new comm messages
Cons: Can't list the status of each recorder
Relies on db consistency
Option 2: Add a new message to mythbackend like GET_ENCODER_STATUSES
Pro: Can see what all the recorders are doing (and can be reused)
Con: A message to potentially debug...
Other options?
TIA,
Thor Johnson
PS. I really like the new playbackbox stuff. Might want to change
"All Programs" to something like "[All Programs]" so it will be
before "2001: A Space Odyssey".
