<br>
mythfrontend user interface prompts for values "Default", "LiveTV", <br>
"High Quality", "Low Quality", hard-coded in scheduleeditor.cpp.<br>
<br>
The database table recordingprofiles contains entries for "Default", <br>
"Live TV", "High Quality", "Low Quality", for several groups.<br>
<br>
Note how "Live TV" is spelt with a space in the database and without a <br>
space in the user interface.<br>
<br>
Recording rules that ask for "LiveTV", have the value "LiveTV" in the <br>
record table. Presumable, any settings you make in mythtv-setup for <br>
"Live TV" will not be used because of the discrepancy.<br>
<br>
mythtv-setup also allows you to create additional recording profiles. <br>
However when you do create them, they cannot be used since the user <br>
interface only gives you those four hardcoded values.<br>
<br>
Maybe recording profiles are useful for transcoding or some types of <br>
recording devices. Is the "LiveTV" vs "Live TV" thing a bug, should we <br>
fix it?<br>
<br><br></blockquote><div>IIRC in ancient times the recording profiles were used to store encoding parameters, such as MPEG2 bitrate, of the Hauppauge PVR150/500 cards.</div><div>I am not aware of any other usage but maybe the newer encoding capture cards for HDMI inputs can/could use this?</div><div>Fixing LiveTV vs. Live TV sounds like a good idea.</div><div><br></div><div>Klaas.</div><div><br></div></div></div>
