Karl,
I was not aware of being able to set a pin on recording groups.  Can you
explain that further?  Maybe start an enhancement in the issue tracker.  I
can always add to the app settings for being able to store a pin.  Still
trying to work all that out for the video parental controls as well.
Problem would be how to reset them.  Maybe there needs to be a Master pin
on some of these settings for reset purposes.

In the meantime, If you enter your recording group in the search box, it
should be getting included, as all fields in that table are included.  then
you can filter just that recording group, at least for the time being.  I
will look at adding some way to filter them as well.

Dan
