It ensures that the group name is translated for display in the StorageGroupListEditor, but not translated within the DB. To add a new special group, simply add another '<< ""Group Name""' to the StorageGroup::kSpecialGroups initialization. Any storage group in kSpecialGroups will not be shown in the scheduled recording editor, so these groups cannot be chosen as a location for recording shows. This will prevent users from recording multi-gigabyte shows to, i.e., the root partition, which they may want to use only for preview pixmaps (Thumbnails) or some other small data store. Currently, LiveTV is included in kSpecialGroups, so it will no longer be shown in the list. Instead, users who want to record some shows into the directory(ies) used for LiveTV should create another, better-named storage group with the same or similar list of directories. (If you want LiveTV as an option in the scheduled recording editor, please let me know and I'll modify the patch to allow it--by removing it from the ""NOT IN"" in StorageGroup::getRecordingsGroups().) The patch also assumes the DB name of the storage group will equal the untranslated display name. Currently, the only existing special group, ""LiveTV,"" meets this critera, and future special groups can be named with this in mind. " enhancement closed minor unknown mythtv head medium fixed 0
