Thanks for pointing to those, Ruben. Pawel, you'll see that there is much agreement about the confusing nature of the UI. I think it is safe to say that a new, powerful feature has been "added" but not (yet) well integrated into the UI. To answer one of your questions, I would say that it was never an *assumption* that there would only be one workflow per mediapackage... a number of us actually assumed the Recordings UI would be iterated on to be able to reflect multiple passes on a mediapackage...in effect the Recordings page should really be about what we're currently calling "Episodes" with additional information about what has been done to each (what's currently available on "Recordings"). You can see one sketch (still needs plenty of work), here: http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Combining+Episodes+and+Workflow+Instances Hopefully those iterations (to better integrate the functionality in the UI) will happen, but currently there seems to be a shortage of development resources.
