> I don't actually think this is fixable. We might want to disable the
ability to create custom group names, the four built-in groups (which can
be edited) should be enough?
As the original bug reporter, I will explain why I needed a new recording
profile.
I record from DVB (DVB-T in the UK) and quite a lot of what I record are
radio programs. One of the options available in the profile editor is
"Recording Type" which can be "TV only", "Audio only" or "Normal". I
added a new recording profile of "Radio" that uses "Audio only" because I
think there is (or there was) a problem with trying to record video from a
radio-only channel. I could have edited the "Low quality" profile and
used that for radio but using something with one name to represent
something else if a bit of a kludge. My solution was to raise this bug
report and patch my code to offer "Radio" as a profile.
If you do delete the ability to create new profiles then there should be a
built-in profile to match each of the options currently available. For
DVB cards this would be a "Normal", "TV only" and "Audio only" profile and
this would, as you suggest, remove the need for creating or editing
profiles.
