 [I'm unable to re-open the original ticket, feel free to close this one
 and move the comment to the original ticket #4961]

 The committed change has a different semantic: nowIfPossible is only set
 TRUE if the mythbackend was started up automatically for a recording.

 To illustrate: let's assume the machine wakes up daily at 6:00 to run
 mythfilldatabase, 6:00 falls into the mythfilldatabase time window and
 there are recordings scheduled for Wednesday & Friday

 Original patch:

 Sun      : shutdown after previous recording ends[[BR]]
 Mon  6:00: manual wakeup, mythfilldatabase[[BR]]
 Tue  6:00: manual wakeup, mythfilldatabase[[BR]]
 Wed  6:00: manual wakeup, mythfilldatabase[[BR]]
 Wed 21:00: auto wakeup, next recording[[BR]]
 Thu  6:00: manual wakeup, mythfilldatabase[[BR]]
 Fri  6:00: manual wakeup, mythfilldatabase[[BR]]
 Fri 18:00: auto wakeup, next recording[[BR]]
 Sat  6:00: manual wakeup, mythfilldatabase[[BR]]
 ...[[BR]]

 Committed patch:

 Sun      : shutdown after previous recording ends[[BR]]
 Mon  6:00: manual wakeup[[BR]]
 Tue  6:00: manual wakeup[[BR]]
 Wed  6:00: manual wakeup[[BR]]
 Wed 21:00: auto wakeup, mythfilldatabase & next recording[[BR]]
 Thu  6:00: manual wakeup[[BR]]
 Fri  6:00: manual wakeup[[BR]]
 Fri 18:00: auto wakeup, mythfilldatabase & next recording[[BR]]
 Sat  6:00: manual wakeup[[BR]]
 ...[[BR]]

 This is certainly not what the user wants, because now mythfilldatabase is
 only executed if there is a recording scheduled.
