Hi,

Just a question about how to use the playlist function with recordings. I use this mainly to queue up some recordings for the kids.

I have my recordings sorted to display the newest first. I'll descripbe the actions I now do to line up 3 consecutive recordings in the order they ware broadcasted.

-Select the oldest recording. Right arrow, add to playlist
-up 2 times to select the next recording, right arrow, add to playlist
-up 2 times to select the next recording, right arrow, add to playlist

I now have the 3 recordings marked.

Now to play all tree I have to press M (for menu), playlist options, playback playlist and we are off.

Anyone know of a better way to this?

You can mark recordings for a playlist using the / key (if you have that bound to your remote, etc.) This is the same key used in many places for favorites, etc. Use ? to clear the playlist.

I can appreciate the usability suggestions as well and while they are noted, developers time is limited so if you have the inclination to generate patches to add these enhancements, I'm sure they will be looked at. I use the playlist occasionally with the kids but haven't had an inclination to really delve into the behavior as it works well enough as is, even if it is a few extra presses.
