[mythtv-users] Unexpected end of recording

[Dick Steffens]

When I set up a schedule for a football game (American), I typically add 
90 minutes to cover possible overtime situations. This weekend, the 
recordings of two games I set up ended well before their scheduled end 
plus 90 minutes. Other programs I've recorded this weekend appear to be 
complete. (I say appear, because I haven't watched them, yet.)

The only thing I can think of is that, while each of the games was 
recording, one on Saturday, one on Sunday, I "may" have switched off and 
right back on the circuit breaker that serves either the MythTV computer 
or my cable modem and router. No interruption should have occurred 
because each of those have battery backups. Also, I've had whole house 
power failures before, and when the systems were restored, if there was 
something scheduled to be recording at that time, MythTV started 
recording a new file at the time the computer was back up, even though 
it was in the middle of the program. When I went to watch the games, my 
MythTV computer was running normally.

So, while that's what came to mind, I don't think it's really the cause 
of the problem. Are there any other failure modes people are aware of 
that would cause MythTV to stop recording a program before either the 
scheduled end time, or the additional time added? (While I'm pretty sure 
this didn't happen, I have caught myself setting up 9 minutes overtime 
instead of 90 in the past.)

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.
