HDHomeRun Development Ideas and Suggestions

Post by danc303 »

I am a user of HDHomerun for 5 years or more on WIndows. I like the device, but the interface needs polish. I think homerun users need a place to log their idea, suggestions request.
I can't see that place, so I started this thread. Sorry if the already is one somewhere else.
On the screen "LiveRecorderDiscoverTasks", this screen really needs the "EPG" as one of the TABS. It so obviously missing and need to be there too.
Also one other thing, on the same screen, There is no "CLOSE" or EXIT , you can only exit from the play window. Switching between "play screen" and "LiveRecorderDiscoverTasks" obviously needs looking at more closely. "LiveRecorderDiscoverTasks" feels like a landing area. It needs to be treated like the program not just an overlay. It's a bit ropey.

thanks hope this isnt too critical and taken with humility

By EPG do you mean the grid guide? (the Discover page is EPG)

We have made this change already on most platforms, Apple TV to follow soon.
When you launch the app it puts you into the LiveRecorderDiscoverTasks screen - that is the main menu / home screen. You can enter Live TV and exit back to the main menu.
