Using the latest CVS:
I saw in the list archives that there was an issue with back-to-back
recordings sometimes not working. I have a three-tuner system split
across two backends. Tonight I had two recordings scheduled at the same
time (8PM-9PM). One of those recordings was scheduled to occur after
another recording on the same channel. Reading through my backend log,
the following is what happened:
7PM: Recording from channel 55 on first tuner. Happened fine.
8PM: Tuner #1 records the first program on channel 11. Tuner #2
attempts to record the second program on channel 55, but fails with the
following message:
---
But current state is: 1
Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None

and this is followed by the message that the second program on channel
55 DID start recording (it did not; it is not in the program list,
there is no entry in the database, there is no file in the video
directory, and both the second and third tuners were free during the
8PM-9PM timeslot).
So the two back-to-back programs on channel 55 were scheduled to be
recorded on different tuners, and yet the second program failed to
record. Looking through the log (it goes back quite a while), this has
happened several times in the last couple of weeks.
I do have myth set to record for 120 seconds beyond the end of a
program, and 120 seconds before. While I do generally get the pre-roll
time, I don't seem to get the 120 seconds after anymore. I don't know
if that is related to this problem.
Is anyone else still having a problem with back-to-back recordings on
the same channel?
