So CEC remote users have no way to exit the app?

Pressing back enough times will bring up a prompt to confirm you want to exit the app.

On Saturday around 1:30 a prompt to exit was added to fix it... the original reason for adding the prompt years ago was that there was often delay on remote presses and it was too easy to hit an extra back, that feature was removed a while back to require only pressing back enough times to exit. Recently on the new guide centric ui, a person reported pressing back exited when they did not realize they were on that top menu (again remote presses can lag on some devices so it is very possible to not notice such) so nickk had that fixed with back not exiting which caused no way to exit without a home button (and restarting that way came to where you left off thus things could be off) so the exit confirmation promot got re-added which does exit properly.

The Task list on my PC and Android App does not have the "Up/Down" arrows for the top task. I cannot "promote" other tasks to the top. I can rearrange all the rest.


Thanks
By any chance is your top item a one off recording? Those are always at top

We are adding favorites to the grid guide.

Favorite channels will show at the top of the guide as the first channels, followed by all channels.

This will be a welcomed change!

May we also get the "Start in Recorded" option back as well?

That should already be there, I just needed to change it back after the latest UI update.

..and please get rid of the splash screen, or at least the sound.

I think they did. (Hope it wasn't an accident).

I had to force a stop of the HD app and clear the cache. Then the splash screen went nicely away.

Worked on multiple Firesticks and android.

Clearing the cache simply means it needs to download the splash again.

Looks like the option is there, but it is not working on either of my Android devices. I change the setting, close out of the app, go back in and I am brought right back to the guide.

Interesting. I have not had that issue on my RockTek G2 (SEI804) or Xiaomi TV Stick 4K.

I have it opening fine on all of my devices. Firestick HD, 4K & Max, MiBox, Shield.
All are in recorded view on startup.

Hmm. To add to this, I am also seeing this on my windows machine as well. I have rebooted the docker on my server and reinstall on Windows, same issue.
