You are mistaken.  You have a stale keybinding that does not exist in
current code.  There is *no* MythVideo-specific binding for delete.
You see one there because you have artifacts from an old version of
MythVideo.  As I said to you the first time I responded to your
discussion on a ticket (Generally speaking it is our policy to refer
people immediately to the right list and lock the ticket, but I
indulged you), MythVideo obeys the *global* delete keybinding.
Further, like in many other places in Myth, MythVideo has *two* menus,
and you are looking in the wrong one.  Press INFO (I) with a video
selected.

It's disingenuous to say that I didn't tell you how it could be done.
I stated that it was possible to use the global delete keybinding, and
that the delete functionality was available from the menu.  Just
because you don't know how to open the menu doesn't mean I didn't tell
you where the functionality is.

Please read our ticket howto.  As we mention daily to users who do not
do so, discussion belongs on lists, not on tickets.  The very first
comment you made should have gone to this list.  It is the
responsibility of a user to have read our trac policy (especially as
one is prompted to do so before opening a ticket) and abide by it.
What's more, I *gave* you an answer to how to do what you wanted to
do-- you just didn't understand it. I'm sorry you feel my answer to
your behavior was inappropriate, I'll be happy to arrange a full
refund of your purchase price immediately.

Robert
