series recording - button grayed out #12

Hi,

In the "timeline", when I select a TV series, the "Series" button does not work (not clickable). Any hints to solve this issue are greatly appreciated.

If you look at the same programme using the 'Channels' or 'Favourite Channels' pages, is the 'Record Series' option shown there? Maybe the TV company haven't defined the programme as part of a series, or perhaps they don't broadcast the Series Link information.

It seems a little strange to show the Series button greyed out, but I can't remember why I did it that way...

It is not really grayed out but not clickable: timeline

Same show on "Channels" shows only this button: channels

EPG data gets downloaded from web. I have checked the XML file, the TV show is indeed not marked as a series in any way. Maybe the series button should work independently from EPG data. There could be non-series programs which one wants to record periodically (e.g. news, sport events).

Series recordings do work using TVHeadend's webinterface.

OK so that's the "Autorec" function where you specify matching parameters to determine what to record. That could be done, though it would be better in the Series Links page. However all my input sources have series link data so I don't really have the need.

Meantime I'll modify the Timeline page to not show the Series button if no series link data is available.

The dialog box now does not show the Series button if no series link information is available. Also fixed your #14. I'll make the same changes to the PHP version of TVHadmin. Thanks for the reports.
