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

One of the joys of multirec is that you will get the overlap in both
recordings. No need to use a second tuner for that situation any more.

But I'm not getting an overlap, if I record two consecutive programs, the first recording stops a couple of seconds before the second recording starts. This is exactly what would happen if I only had one card in the days before multirec. The only way I can cause the overlap you describe is by manually setting a hard overlap by adjusting the before/after time on the recording rules. Is this the expected behaviour? I don't see why the first program should stop early because I've got another virtual tuner.

The sad part of hard-padding. You're causing a scheduling conflict by
forcing the early/late record times. Let the scheduler do it with soft
padding like you set it up originally.

But it doesn't give any sort of overlap unless I use hard-padding, and cause the recording to shift to another virtual tuner (same physical card on the same multiplex).

Thanks,

Jonny
