Airing and Video Options Dialog
When the the Select command is used on an airing (such as in the Program Guide), an existing
recording (the SageTV Recordings menu), or an imported video (the Video Browser), a pop-up
dialog containing all of the available actions that may be performed will appear. This dialog may
be used in its Basic or Advanced form. Basic mode shows a single column of options, while
Advanced uses two columns, with additional options in the second column.
The actions in this dialog are dynamically added or removed, depending on what may be done at
that moment. For example, “Watch Now” will appear for a show that is currently airing, an
existing recording, or an imported video, but it would not appear for a show in the Program
Guide if that airing has already finished airing and was not recorded, or if the airing has not yet
begun.
