I agree, and you're correct, sorry for the lack of detail to that post.
Here's my thoughts on it (since you asked, time for me to ramble...)..
In Isengard to record something from the context menu I believe you select "add timer".
In Jarvis to record a single episode from the context menu, you select "record", and if you want a series recording you select "add timer" and choose your options.
This confused me as I'm naturally drawn to the "record" button, so I pressed that expecting options which I didn't get (completely missing the other "add timer" selection).
While adding all of these options, and possibilities is great, it (IMHO) over complicates the whole process, and not only for WAF, but also for my geeky non programmer self.
There are two actions that I want to regularly perform, a single recording, or a series recording.
In WMC that was done by a single press of record (single), or a double press (series). This was not perfect, but it worked pretty well for simplicity.
Most of the options in the add timer dialog (while still useful certainly) are mostly unneeded, and can be manipulated elsewhere for the 1% time that I may want to "tweak" the recording start/end, or repeat based weekly, daily, duplicates, etc..
I think that the only option should be "record" and that should prompt the "single, or series" option. I believe this would cover 95% use cases for recordings for the average user.
Things like start early/late while useful are many of times set in the backend as a global setting.
If not done there, or something special needs to be done for a recording, being able to manipulate that specific timer under the timers menu should be sufficient.
I hope that doesn't completely come off as bashing, I'm just explaining as asked. It was just not intuitive to me naturally, and is why I had the confusion.
Thanks for all your efforts, and support!
