(PVR) context menu items inconsistency - Jeroen - 2014-02-19

Not completely sure whether to post this here or in the PVR development section. As it primarily concerns UI design I thought this would be the best place. Please move if it's more appropriate in the PVR section.

The context menu in the recordings section of the PVR has these options:
  • Sort by: Name
  • Sort by: Date
I think the context menu is not the right place to put these in.

In the video library options have been removed (update library for instance) because those functions are not specific to the item that is highlighted, but rather apply to the entire listing it is part of.

The same logic should be applied here imo as it creates an inconsistent experience.

Also, when recordings are sorted by date, $INFO[Container.SortMethod] will return sorted by name

we should move this to the pvr development thread or could you please add a bug ticket for this?
