I just got my mythbox fixed (motherboard died) and installed the latest mythbuntu. I have the same problem as explained in Question 1): I like the left panel to display my recording groups (Mom's, Dad's, Children's, and default for things not in one of those categories). Now, everything is in default even when it is also in another group (this wasn't the previous behavior). I make the default group unusable (its cluttered with everything and the same as All Programs). <br>

I'm playing around with recording groups lately, mainly to solve the probably most common use-case: per-user recordings.<br>
I've noticed two oddities in the recording screens though, that I would consider bugs. But I figured I should ask here first, in case I'm missing some rationale behind the current behavior.<br>
<br>
1) All recordings still show up in the "Default" group, even though I have assigned them to different groups. This gets me two redundant entries in the group list, "Default" and "All Recordings". Besides redundancy, I would really like to keep the Default group for all recordings that are not for a certain user.<br>
<br>
2) If I choose to display the groups in the recordings screen, and also choose to not show the LiveTV recordings, the LiveTV group still shows up. If I don't choose to display the groups, the LiveTV recordings don't show up, as expected, unless I explicitly ask for them through the group filter.<br>
<br>
There is also some wishlist of things I'd like to have in the recordings screen, that I'm going to add to the wiki, unless someone tells me that they don't make any sense for some reason:<br>
- Sort groups and categories before recordings, i.e. when showing both groups (or categories, though I don't use them) and individual recordings, everything is sorted in alphabetically order. Having the groups always on top, maybe with a separator below, seems more intuitive to me.<br>
- An iTunes-like column interface for recordings. I'm not sure if this is really giving any benefit, once the recording groups work like I'd expect them to work. The idea is to incrementally filter all recordings by picking filters from filter lists. First there is a list of available filters (groups, categories, years, directors, whatnot) and a list of all recordings below. If I pick a filter category, I get a list of all filter values in that category. If I pick a value, I again get a list of all left-over filter categories, and below the list of recording that match the current filters, etc.<br>
