Added a field to recorder service that can be overwritten to display another title

[TurRil]

As a plugin I want to be able to display another title in the recorder UI so that when a user sees the galicaster screen their name could be displayed correctly.

I'm not sure that modifying the variable in the RecorderService class directly is the best way to do this.
i'd suggest having a method in the class that does this probably. something like:

    def set_title_standin(self, title):
        self.title_standin = title

You can test this PR with the below plugin

from galicaster.core import context


def init():
    dispatcher = context.get_dispatcher()
    dispatcher.connect('timer-short', hello_world)
    dispatcher.connect('timer-long', say_hello)


def hello_world(signal=None):
    print context.get('recorder').title_standin


def say_hello(signal=None):
    context.get('recorder').title_standin = 'Hello World!'

from testing i seems this only affects manually recorded mediapackages, the title in the events panel in the recorder UI is changed only and seems to work well.

hey sorry! this is almost there.
i think you forgot to call self.recorder.set_title_standin(self, title) here

I think not, it looks like the set_title_standin() function is meant to be called through a plugin (and if not the behaviour should be the same as before this PR)
@TurRil can you confirm?

Hi @TurRil, sorry for the huge delay here.
I'm hesitant to merge this, as I think we should not add this logic using the recorder service.

What do you think of adding the title_standin to classui.mainwindow?

[Alfro]

This should not be added to the recorder service.
See if you can add it to the classui/mainwindow instead (to keep ui logic on the ui)
