#6616: Wrong behavior of mythbackend when overrecording is enabled and consecutive
shows occurs

 When 2 consecutive shows (one immediately after another) are scheduled and
 overrecording is enabled (for example 5min before and 10min after show),
 recording of first show is stopped on time (10 minutes earlier than it
 should) and immediately recording of the second show is started (5 minutes
 later). I understand, that this behavior could be ok if one tuner is
 present...


 But if 2 tuners are available, mythbackend should record first show with
 10 minutes overtime and second show should be recorded with 5 minutes
 before (15 minutes are recorded both). I know, it is using more disc
 space, but user wanted this, because he enabled overrecording, so
 mythbackend should satisfy his wish. Current behavior of mythbackend force
 me to reconstruct recordings, because shows are not on time, so end of one
 show is located in latter recording.


 This behavior could be made even if only one tuner is present, but it
 would be necessary to record one source to two recordings in overlapping
 time. And this change could be hard to make.
