Category: core Group: 1.6.1 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jonathan Kamens (jikamens) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: can't see multiple favorites with the same name Initial Comment: I want to record a show whenever it is broadcast in two different time slots, but not at other times. I therefore need to create two different favorites at the two different time slots. Freevo lets me do this without any complaint, but when I go to view my favorites, I can only see one of them. This is true in both the UI and the Web interface. I think both of the favorites actually work, even though I can see only one of them in the UI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Duncan Webb (duncanwebb) Date: 2006-12-17 19:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104395 Originator: NO I agree that the implementation favourite handling of freevo could be better, there are certainly a few design failures. But having said that it is *not* a bug as the program does what it has been designed to do, even if it could be better. This is really a question, how do I do so and so and as such it should be asked on the users list before considering it a bug :) There is a trick to entering names using a remote, they follow the logic of a mobile phone. '2' cycles through "abc2", '3' through "def3", etc. Left and right arrows move the cursor left and right and up and down arrows cycle through the characters. I have no intention to change the behaviour, you will have to wait for freevo2 ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tanja (owigera) Date: 2006-12-16 15:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1620763 Originator: NO >From my experience this is really a problem, because in these cases only the second favorite is recorded. The first favorite seems to be lost, when another one with the same name is created. This is definately true for 1.5.4, I did not check it for 1.6. A workaround for this problem is to give the second favorite a different name, but it took me some time and missed recordings to realize that. Thus I agree with jikamens, freevo should not allow the user to enter a second favorite with the same name. It should at least give a warning! Just my opinion Tanja ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Kamens (jikamens) Date: 2006-12-15 20:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274776 Originator: YES I disagree that this is a feature request. An application should not allow you to create a datum which is then invisible within the application. That's clearly a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Duncan Webb (duncanwebb) Date: 2006-12-15 18:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104395 Originator: NO More of a feature request than a bug report. :) Questions are better on the freevo-users list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Kamens (jikamens) Date: 2006-12-15 14:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274776 Originator: YES Then it should automatically create them with two different names. The application shouldn't allow me to create Favorites entries which hide other Favorites entries. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Duncan Webb (duncanwebb) Date: 2006-12-15 14:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104395 Originator: NO You need to give them two different names, like house1 and house2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=446895&aid=1616373&group_id=46652 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
