Feature request? - larrywalk

Post by larrywalk »

Having enjoyed HDHomeRun Prime for many years, the recent changes to the GUI have been very annoying...

Last fall (IIRC), a change of the compact listing of the recorded programs to using larger blocks made it harder to find the desired recording, requiring scrolling downward to find what I was looking for. Worse, looking for an older recording, now, I often accidentally open the one being recorded, even though I wanted to open one that had already completed. There are 2 reasons why I like to do this: (1) with my LG OLED TV, I could click through the commercials as long as the recording had completed, (2) I could keep the viewing sequence in chronological order.

And just a few weeks ago, whether I am viewing LIVE or RECORDED, I can not easily get back to the menu page because the "X" at the far right of the lower task bar is now MISSING on my LG TV!

To be fair, if I view HDHR on my PC, that "X" is now located at the top right, but that is not the case on any of my beloved LG OLED TVs; my only recourse is to use the remote's "Back" button, twice, to get back to the main menu. Please restore that "X" at the right end of the task bar.

If there is any possibility at all, I would love to run the previous GUI for HDHR Prime. Can it be done?

Navigation in the HDHomeRun app is based around up/down/left/right, OK, and Back.

The X icon in the top right is only there on platforms with a touchscreen on mouse. On platforms with a remote control the Back button is used to exit any screen.
