Yeah they package every little library individually so while it looks like
a huge mess it really is not too bad.  Glad the install was a breeze.

Right now if you hit delete from the Viewing page it deletes the recording
and the livestream.  On the individual recording page if a transcode is in
progress or complete it will show there.  Right now it only shows the
first.  I am working on better support of multiple devices with multiple
resolution settings.  Hence the Use Any Stream check box on the FE settings
as a phone may not care it has a 1080p recording as long as you are on the
local network even though it is overkill.  Also next version will have a
page in the settings that'll show all streams and the ability to delete
them. (Basically the :6544 page duplicated)
