In Steppes theme 1.8 under Recording Rules, options I cannot find a
means of updating metadata, this worked in the previous versions.

High, I am definitely missing something here. In both the Mythbuntu &
Steppes themes, pressing M leads to an Options menu and pressing M leads
to a Schedule Editor. In Steppes 1.8 (previous version on 0.25 worked)
there is no Metadata entry at the bottom of the Schedule Editor Menu.
The list is different to the Mythbuntu one containing Schedule Type, Rec
Group, Play Group, Start Offset, End Offset,Repeats.

Oops I ment pressing Enter for the Schedule Editor.

First, I'm only talking about pressing MENU from within the schedule
editor. Make sure you're in the schedule editor. You'll get totally
different options if you're in the EPG, View Upcoming or elsewhere.

Second, the menu is context sensitive and only shows applicable
options. In Steppes and any other theme, you should only see the
metadata option when pressing MENU if the rule is not "Do not record".
For the Mythbuntu theme, it contains a metadata button on the main
screen which can also be used to access that functionality. Either
that theme hasn't been updated or the authors have chosen not to use
the new features. Please also note there is a bug I noticed where the
metadata button is left enabled when the rule is "Do not record".
I'll fix that shortly.

Mythtv 0.26 Steppes theme 1.8 [In reply to]

Apologies for not picking up the previous post properly but I have just
changed email accounts.
Response from D Engel to meta-data editing not being available
in Steppes.
First, I'm only talking about pressing MENU from within the
schedule

editor. Make sure you're in the schedule editor. You'll get totally
different options if you're in the EPG, View Upcoming or elsewhere.

options. In Steppes and any other theme, you should only see the

Thanks Dave I can confirm that pressing menu within the schedule Editor
works fine. Great theme, I was confused by the menu being one level of
nesting down from the previous version.
