Not always, which is probably why he asked. It doesn't seem
to update until you press a key like up or down. When you do
the one thing that will always work is that a record in progress
which has ended will change color. New recordings that just
started often don't show up unless you exit and re-enter the page.
I have several frontends and I may leave one on the playbox then
watch and delete shows somewhere else. When I come back, it still
shows the old list but when I press a key, the deleted items are
removed.
