Feature to test: Inherit Favorite padding when creating a Manual Recording

[Opus4]

A downloadable STV update is available for testing, as described here:
STV update version 2009061101


The main change to be tested is the feature to ask whether the padding for a Favorite should be inherited when converting one of the Favorite's airings to a Manual Recording.

I have tested this with as many circumstances as I could think of, but I would appreciate hearing whether anyone runs into problems using this feature. To test, simply use the Record command on a Favorite airing, whether the recording is complete, in progress, or in the future. Obviously, completed recordings shouldn't change their recording times, and only the stop padding of a currently recording airing should be affected.


Note: This new feature is NOT a hidden feature. If you have the hidden extras enabled, and have set the option for Manual Recordings to automatically inherit Favorite settings, you will not see a dialog asking to inherit the Fav padding. You will see the dialog if the extras are not enabled or if they are neabled and Fav settings are not auto-inherited & the Fav has greater padding.


Post here if you run in to any problems. Thanks.

The downloadable STV update has been changed to version 2009061101, fixing a delay closing the dialog after creating a manual recording for a currently airing show using a tuner that has a delay before starting the recording.
