It’s pretty straightforward to implement something which looks like delete / undelete on the front end of a system like a PVR, irrespective of the OS on which it is based (which of course here is Android, not Linux, as Android is a modified Linux kernel). There are plenty of Android apps which have this sort of feature built into them.
On the front end, if something is ticked “deleted”, don’t display it. Then have a secondary process to have items ticked as “deleted” showing in something called (but not actually) a recycle bin, with a rule to delete automatically after 30 days (say) and an option to permanently delete if required.
It’s irrelevant how the OS handles that, it’s all about how the front end is coded to make it appear as if there is a system level delete / undelete function.
The only issue with dealing with it like that is that is that some end users would be running out of space, delete recordings and then fail to comprehend why no new fresh space was being created (assuming the autodelete option wasn’t in play).
I think it’s a great suggestion, especially as it is quite easy to delete recordings on the box and occasionally different family members will delete something which others wanted retaining.

Because the file is not actually deleted it is copied to a seperate area. If you have a lot it’s wasted space on the HDD.
I assume if such a capability was implemented it would be optional. If the expire time was zero then files would be deleted immediately in the normal way. For people who want the safeguard then it wouldn’t be wasted space.
For those of us who watch and delete immediately after viewing it’s going to leave a lot of data we don’t actually want.
I would view it as something that could be configured and those who don’t want it would turn it off and not waste any space.
How would you handle the deletion of a folder with many recordings in it ?
Simple Example of this. I have a ITV-HD Tipping Point folder with 12 episodes. In it and just 8% Free Space.
Having marked the files as provisionally deleted you would still have 8% free space.
And I imagine it would make the auto delete oldest when HDD is nearly full awkward
If auto delete is on then I assume it would work as it currently does and delete the oldest files not marked to be preserved.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I would like the ability to skip backwards in Live TV without having to pause first. This was how the Foxsat HDR operated and is frustrating to not have it.
I can skip back in Live TV and also fast rewind too without pressing pause.
Obviously you need to let it buffer up slightly for it to work.
Sorry to drag this up from before this went a bit away from the topic..
I have never been able to skip backwards from live TV (can rewind) without pressing pause first. Is there some setting for this?
Only a small one, I find the minimum 5 second display time for the info bar is a bit to long for me & would prefer an option to reduce it to something like 3 seconds.
I’d like to see the volume bars/number when you increase/decrease the volume.

I see a slider but no bars or numbers which is what the OP was asking for?
That’s because my volume is set to max. It moves down if I reduce the volume. The audio is normally controlled by my AVR remote
All I get it s plus or minus symbol at the right side of the screen.

Probably different audio settings. What do you use to decode the audio ?
Sony Soundbar, and the Aura controls the sound not the TV, before the update it did have volume levels now it no longer does.
What about:
#1 Better notifications? I had a Google store app or two that hadn’t updated yet (was set to automatic) – Shouldn’t these be displayed in the notifications process when apps are updated/ready to be installed?
#2 The Settings > Freeview Menu is poorly laid out – Legal stuff at the top? Really? I don’t want to see that kind of thing, that should be at the bottom or in some seperate menu somewhere. Makes more sense to put the ‘useful’ things at the top of the side bar menu – Maybe that could be thought out a litlte better.
#3 There doesn’t seem to be a way to check for a Humax software updates? We can update the remote control software & update Android, but it would be nice to check for a software update from Humax… Or maybe the Android update also updates the Humax software?
Would it be possible for the Android TV screen saver to be used instead of the clock that moves round the screen when pausing TV or recorded playback?
With apps such as Plex when you leave it paused the standard screensaver with the photos shows after the configured time, which looks much better than a black screen with a clock.
Do you mean so it uses your photos in Google Photos for the screensaver? It can already do that. You need to set it in Google’s “Home” app on your mobile device. Go to settings > Rooms & Groups > Other cast devices > Aura > Ambient Mode, set it to Google Photos and then choose your albums.
It works on my Shield TV as well, but not my Sony Bravia (as that runs an older Android TV)
