I think a global "recording active" indicator (not button, only indicator) within the home screen would be nice - especially for ppl running tvheadend (or similar) on the same machine as KODI itself. When not focusing the TV-main menu item you can easily overlook that PVR recording is active. When you reboot or shutdown the device now the recording is (obviously) cancelled.

I have noticed this as well.
MusicOSD.xml has an error relating to the recording active indicator:

Code:

            <control type="button" id="704">
                <width>55</width>
                <height>55</height>
                <label>264</label>
                <font>-</font>
                <texturefocus>OSDRecordOffFO.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus>OSDRecordOffNF.png</texturenofocus>
                <onclick>PlayerControl(record)</onclick>
                <visible>Player.CanRecord</visible>
            </control>

Whereas VideoOSD.xml shows:

Code:

            <control type="togglebutton" id="353">
                <width>55</width>
                <height>55</height>
                <label>264</label>
                <altlabel>265</altlabel>
                <font>-</font>
                <texturefocus>OSDRecordOffFO.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus>OSDRecordOffNF.png</texturenofocus>
                <usealttexture>Player.Recording</usealttexture>
                <alttexturefocus>OSDRecordOnFO.png</alttexturefocus>
                <alttexturenofocus>OSDRecordOnNF.png</alttexturenofocus>
                <onclick>PlayerControl(Record)</onclick>
                <enable>Player.CanRecord</enable>
                <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="50" time="75" condition="!Player.CanRecord">Conditional</animation>
                <visible>VideoPlayer.Content(LiveTV)</visible>
            </control>

I believe MusicOSD.xml should read:

Code:

            <control type="togglebutton" id="704">
                <width>55</width>
                <height>55</height>
                <label>264</label>
                <altlabel>265</altlabel>
                <font>-</font>
                <texturefocus>OSDRecordOffFO.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus>OSDRecordOffNF.png</texturenofocus>
                <usealttexture>Player.Recording</usealttexture>
                <alttexturefocus>OSDRecordOnFO.png</alttexturefocus>
                <alttexturenofocus>OSDRecordOnNF.png</alttexturenofocus>
                <onclick>PlayerControl(Record)</onclick>
                <enable>Player.CanRecord</enable>
                <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="50" time="75" condition="!Player.CanRecord">Conditional</animation>
                <visible>MusicPlayer.Content(LiveTV)</visible>
            </control>

Did you know, that since Isengard, if PVR backend recides on the same machine as Kodi and you select reboot/shutdown/suspend from inside Kodi and at least one recording is active or to be started "soon", then a dialog will pop up informing you about the running/to be started recording and asking for confirmation to reboot/shutdown/suspend?

Hey there, yes - i noticed that shortly after my initial post. (while making my first PVR recording on Isengard.) The warning dialog really helps.

I still thought a global (global in terms of "being on the home screen") visual indicator for timed or active recordings would be really benefiting usability.
So i integrated a mini-inidicator within my updated version of Confluence. (Which is a minified version with no text of the indicators which were already there when you focus the TV main menu item).

After some weeks of all day use, i think it really feels well having this global indicator and i think it wouldn't hurt if it was standard. It doesn't interfere with any other areas on home screen.

Thanks for your reply!

If you know how to create a PR on github, this would be the best way to propose your change.

[axbmcuser]

After now having my "modernized Confluence" at a state which i really like, the only thing left preventing me from proposing changes via PR is that i'm still new using GIT. I use it more and more while compiling my own OpenELEC images, but i'm still not as familiar with it like i would love to be.

So, if everything works out regarding getting used to GIT more and more, i think it would make sense to try creating some PR after i reworked all my Confluence changes on base of the clean Jarvis-version of Confluence. I'm just in the process of that. Should be finished (relatively) soon.

Thanks for motivating.

After few days of use I noticed shutdown confirmation window is no longer here for scheduled recordings. Only when recording is active the window appears after press of power button. When recording is scheduled for future, pressing of power button shutdown my Wetek Play 2 without any warning. I am on Libreelec with Jarvis, Tvheadend 4.2 a Tvh client. The confirmation window was there before but now is not. Any ideas how to bring it back? It is nice feature.
Thanks.

Edit: AAAAh I got it. The dialog appears only for recordings to be started soon. I did not noticed before. It would be nice to have an option to pop up that dialog for any recordings. Thanks anyway.
