It would also be nice to have different view recording pages that only showed the recordings the current user has registered for. This would save sifting through recordings that someone else in your house recorded to find what you are looking for. Then, when each user deletes the recording it disappears from their view recordings page but still shows up on other users' pages until they delete it. Once everyone who has registered for the show marks it for deletion, it will be deleted.
Good idea, but why tie this to a concept of users. Simply allow a show to belong to multiple recording groups! It's deleted (or marked for un-deletion) when it is removed from all recording groups.
The only added benefit I can see to having users is you could have things like separate bookmarks for each user. Otherwise I like the sound of your idea and it seems almost trivial to implement.
For user co-ordination, you can set up groups like 'Bob's shows', 'Carol's shows', ... and the delete button can allow deletes from multiple groups at the same time, in case you're watching it together.
Great idea... Delete from all option could be very useful
I never thought of this situation but you make a good point. Being able to have a show in multiple recording groups would add some usefulness to myth. I have never actually set up recording groups. When you set up a group, are you still able to browse the shows by name within that group? (ie, are the shows grouped within the group)That way, this same mechanism can be used for other purposes. For example, after I watch 'Good Eats', I want to move it to an archive group. Right now, I have to remember not to delete it by habit, then go into the move to recording group. If groups were non-exclusive, I could have it placed in both the default and archive groups when it is recorded, and not have to do these extra, error prone steps. BTW, this is the only situation where I've ever accidentally deleted a program.
