Tasks has become an unmanageable mess

Post by cqcq42 »

(This refers to HDHR on IOS)
There is no longer a simple option to Delete a Task. This is particularly needed now since the same show can appear multiple times as a Task. I have one show listed 13 times. To delete 12 of them I have to:
Select a task
Click an episode
Click Auto record
Then Delete
I realize each Task is now a separate episode, but this a new ‘feature’ that is not particularly useful or desirable.
Also, what is the meaning of the red, gray or green check associated with each task?

The only change is the default selected sub-menu - Upcoming is now selected by default when you enter Tasks. We found that people most commonly entered the Tasks page to look at upcoming recordings.

If you switch to Priority you will see the recording rules that you can prioritize, edit, and/or delete like normal.

There is only one Auto-Record rule for a series. You can't delete an Auto-Record rule 12 times... after the first delete it is gone - no episodes will be recorded (unless you also have any separate "record this airing" tasks)
