to see the files. v1.1.2 not ready yet, so v1.1.1 is latest available.

Thanks!

v1.1.6 now available. Added features are "stats for nerds" overlay: use the menu, or shift-s hotkey.
Also added Windows ARM version, and Linux Debian version. I'm having trouble compiling the Linux ARM version, but it will eventually be there.

Try v1.1.6 I have no way to test it, so if you don't mind beta testing...

Good luck!

I was having trouble with the ARM version. When it failed, it would also not post the x64 version. It seems to be good now.

Looking good. Nice project and stable so far.
Any ideas about fixing Live viewing so it doesn't show hidden/disabled channels?

try v1.1.8

Perfect :+1:

Not sure if this is in your plans, but figured I'd ask.
How hard would it be to add a feature to mark the recording as watched/unwatched.
Also marking the current play position to resume watching later.

The Channels clients do this, but I'm sure there are things they can do that are undocumented API's to third party developers.

I did notice after marking an episode as watched in the CDVR web UI, that it displays a green circle in the upper right.

Try v1.1.9. The protocols for reporting watched status and progress are not published, but I was able to snoop on the communication to determine how it works. I got it to work, but it could break if Fancy Bits decides to update the protocol. Until then, enjoy!

Oh, the Linux AMD version worked this time. Bonus!

You nailed it!
Thank you.
