Here we go... patch to move the display of favorite info into the menu. All you 
need to do is select the item line to edit it. It also clears up the ambiguity 
of the Duplicate Recordings and Episode Filter readouts.

For now the upper half of the screen displays redundant information, but maybe 
in the next few weeks I'll whip that into a basic layout even if I can't get 
the 
IMDB information imported. If I can't do it, I'm sure someone here can. ^_^

Oh yeah, I also took a hard look at this module and couldn't find any more 
references to Twisted routines (the Twisted library isn't even imported 
anymore), so I went back to using standard True/1 and False/0 for the Dupe and 
Filter statuses. There were notes that Twisted didn't know how to handle 
True/False and needed TRUE/FALSE instead. I wanted to use something like 
'status 
= not status' to flip the flags, so I took out those parts related to Twisted 
and it seems to work just fine without them.

Now, a short story from when I was troubleshooting this. If you're in a hurry, 
I 
won't be offended if you skip it. But I thought we could all use a little 
chuckle (and I'm sure we've all done something similar).

I spent an hour chasing my tail, trying to figure out why the new favorite 
information wasn't being saved. I'd go into the GUI, change a few things and 
save. Looked okay in the GUI, but the real test was if it showed up in the web 
interface. I would reload the web favorites page and to my surprise, nothing 
had 
changed. I reloaded the GUI and it was back to the way it was before! I started 
dissecting the new code, putting in print statements to check if the changes 
were making it through, even back to the RPC code in the recordserver. All the 
changes were making it to the save routine and I couldn't see anything wrong. 
It 
was a real head-scratcher!

And then like a flashbulb going off in my face, I realized the URL I was 
reloading for the favorites page had a leftover edit action in it, calling an 
edit for the very same favorite I was using for testing. I was changing it in 
the GUI and saving it... but when I reloaded the web page to check it, it would 
get edited _back_ to what it was before! Duh! >.<

Needless to say, once I checked the saving with the _default_ favorites URL, it 
worked fine.

Enjoy!
