After quite some time, I have put my Mephisto Exclusive board back into operation with the Elfacun module. This setup simulates the five clock buttons and the display of a DGT clock.

I noticed that it is not possible to select an engine via the "Favorites" option; the Favorites menu does not appear at all.

In the engine menu on the display, I can only switch between the following entries:

Special
Modern
Retro
Ret-Sett

In the browser window, however, the following categories are displayed:

Modern
Retro
Favorites

This applies to both V4.3.1 with the Elfacun module and V3.4 on the ChessPi.

Could someone please check if this is a bug?

Regards,
Wilhelm

It does not seem to be a direct bug, but a small confusion:

The confusing bit is in [dgt/translate.py (line 3833)]: engine_menu_favorites is displayed on the clock as Special, not Favorites. The web UI separately labels the same category as Favorites in the web client clock.html.

Thanks for the quick clarification and solution.
