Bug Description

I have noticed that with the Mythbuntu theme 25.14 under the Watch Recordings section that the date no longer shows up for recordings on the right side only the recorded time. I have noticed this on both my frontends running 12.04 with MythTV 0.25 + latest fixes, but can't find any options to change to make the recorded date and time show up. Is this a hard-coded option in the theme itself? I have switched to other theme's and it shows up, so if this is the case, that is unfortunate as this is my favorite overall theme.

I noticed this as well. I was able to add the date back by editing the file:

/usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/recordings-ui.xml

on line 116 change "shortdate" to "shortstartdate"
also change it on line 120.

Thanks for the reply, but this didn't work for me unfortunately. I even restarted Mythfrontend after making the changes.

if you look into all the folders under the themes folder there are actually several files with the name "recordings-ui.xml". Simply by process of trail and error I found that was the one I had to edit. You might try editing the others, and see if it works for you.

OK, I found it. For me it was under /myhomedir/.mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu.
 After editing this, my dates are now showing up. Thanks for pointing me
in the right direction.
