Comment (by chemobejk@…):
Replying to [comment:1 gigem]:
> You say you have your recordings set to "start 60 seconds early" and
"end 240 seconds late". I take that to mean you are using the global
settings that are specified in seconds rather than the per recording rule
settings that are specified in minutes. Is that correct? If so, those
values are ignored when the scheduler chooses to record back-to-back
programs.
Yes, I refer to the settings on "Setup" -> "TV Settings" -> "General" ->
"General (Advanced)":
* Time to record before start of show (secs): 60
* Time to record past end of show (secs): 240
> There is a setting in the "Set Recording Priorities" wizard that
controls whether or not the scheduler tries to avoid back-to-back
programs. Did you change that setting when you upgraded to version 0.25?
I just tested and the behavior in 0.25 is as intended and, as far as I can
tell, is the same as it was in version 0.24.
"Setup" -> "TV Settings" -> "Recording Priorities" -> "Set Recording
Priorities" -> "Scheduler Options"
* Avoid back to back recordings: Never
AFAIR I never changed this option. From searching the Internet I'm
gathering that this was a checkbox in 0.24, which must obviously have been
set to "checked" on my setup. I've now changed it to "Always" and the
scheduling looks correct, i.e. the scheduler now uses multiple encoders.
I'll monitor what happens when the recordings are done.
IMHO this is extremely counter-intuitive, especially given the fact that
this option is nowhere documented and not mentioned in
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html.
Shouldn't the default be "Always"?
