[mythtv-users] Feature request: Decluttering known programs

[John Veness]

Hi,

Please see the page I created 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Known_program_feature and let me know what 
you think. This is a request to add a feature where the user can 
indicate that certain programs are 'known' to them. This can then be 
used to alter the user-interface, to allow the user to toggle a view to 
only show 'unknown' programs in the schedules.

Every week as I trawl through my listings magazine, I've thought that 
there should be a better way to hide all the programs that I already 
know about, and the above link gives my suggestion on how to achieve 
this in Myth.

Note that I've deliberately tried to avoid calling this an 'ignore' or 
'hide' feature, as I don't want this to affect the scheduler ('known' 
programs can still be recorded) or to hide programs from Watch 
Recordings. This is just about creating a list of programs that the user 
'knows' about and having that gently and optionally affect the UI in 
certain ways.

Cheers,

John
