[mythtv-users] Time to record before start with back-to-back recordings and multirec?

But I'm not getting an overlap, if I record two consecutive programs, the
first recording stops a couple of seconds before the second recording
starts. This is exactly what would happen if I only had one card in the days
before multirec. The only way I can cause the overlap you describe is by
manually setting a hard overlap by adjusting the before/after time on the
recording rules. Is this the expected behaviour? I don't see why the first
program should stop early because I've got another virtual tuner.


The sad part of hard-padding. You're causing a scheduling conflict by

But it doesn't give any sort of overlap unless I use hard-padding, and cause
the recording to shift to another virtual tuner (same physical card on the
same multiplex).

Thanks,
