Not only that, but the .nuv filename for the recording is based on the 
begin and end date/times so just changing the end time will confuse 
MythTV as to which file belong to the recording. When I implemented the 
"Stop Recording" feature I had to add code that actually renamed the 
file to mirror the changes I made in the start/end times. It might be 
necessary to do something similar for a feature like this as well, but I 
can imagine there might be complication when trying to do so for an 
in-progress recording.
