Comment(by stuartm):

 Thanks for the log.

 The most strange part of the log is the inuseprograms table bit which
 happens when we should be switching buffers. There are three places that
 MarkAsInUse(true, "recorder") might be called on the backend however each
 of those should be accompanied by a debugging message e.g.
 RingBufferChanged() so that's a little strange.

 There are no transition related debug messages in that log at all which as
 far as I can tell means just one thing - we are never meeting the
 conditions for a ringbuffer transition.

 Either:
 {{
 else if (!has_rec && !rec_soon && curRecording && (now >=
 curRecording->endts))
 }}

 Or:
 {{
 if (lastRecording != curRecording)
 }}

 The second one seems more likely and I'm not even sure what it's meant to
 do, but it's pretty sure to screw things up if it's ever true.

 Could someone apply the patch I've attached, then create a backend log
 with -v record
