It should have. And has now. I guess only description was missing for recordings created from favorites. > I think that the recordserver should be using the EPG to flag which > programs are to be recorded and each of the webserver, recordserver, > and freevo main consult the EPG. Maybe, maybe not. When using more than one machine, you may have more than one db. > I'm not saying we should get rid of recordserver.fxd, I just think > the recordings list should contain a program id for the EPG and a > file path if the show has been saved. I'm not sure. When stuff moves around in the db after an update, the id may change and all the informations are lost. That was the problem I had with the old code. But even with we use the db, record.client should hide that from us and make it possible to use this object (even when it is using the db in the background later). >> 2.

The navbar would then be a list of queried plugins, etc. Yes, that was the idea. Dischi -- Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object!
