[mythtv-users] Time to record before start with back-to-back recordings and multirec?

[jonny Linux [Permanent Link]]

Hi,

I have two DVB-T cards, and I'm using multirec. I have the "Time to record before start" and "...after end" set to 120 and 300 seconds respectively.

Is there any way to make MythTV automatically switch virtual tuners? I have 5 tuners on each card, but if I have two back-to-back recordings on the same channel, they will both be scheduled to be recorded on Tuner 1, and I will still get the risk of missing the end of the first program or the start of the second program.

If I manually set the first program to stop recording 5 minutes late, and the second program to start recording 2 minutes early, the first will be recorded on Tuner 1 and the second on Tuner 2 (same card, same channel being recorded using multirec). Is there any way of making the tuners alternate automatically?

The only way I can think of doing this is to make the "Time to record before start" a hard constraint rather than a soft constraint. I thought I read something about this either on this list or in the SVN tickets. Can anybody tell me if there's a way of doing what I'm describing?

Thanks,

Jonny
