[mythtv-users] Changing end time for a recording while the recording is going on

[Sabin Dang]

Hello,

I've been recently trying to record various live events (sports, etc) 
with mythtv. Occasionally these events go over the listed  time limits, 
and I'd like to be able to tell mythtv to record for an additional 1/2 
hour or so.

Looking through the database structure, I see that there is an endtime 
field in the record table.  My question is, can I modify the endtime 
entry while a recording is going on and have the change be registered 
with mythtv? Or does mythtv preload this information when a recording 
is started?

I'm hoping I can write a quick script that can modify the end time of 
the current recording.

Any help and information would be greatly appreciated!
