[mythtv-users] Events at the beginning of a recording

[Klaas de Waal]

Hi Jan,

Yes, I can reproduce the problem.

When a recording is scheduled *after* the start time of the program,
including the preroll time, then the recording starts immediately.
This is when you get a REC_PENDING with a negative SECS value and also the
REC_PENDING comes after the REC_START.
The correct behaviour here is that the REC_PENDING comes with a SECS value
of 0 (or small positive) followed by the REC_START.
This will be fixed.

About why you see a REC_PENDING with a value of 5 seconds.
The REC_PENDING logic is only activated after the WakeUpThreshold is passed
so if your WakeUpThreshold is 5 seconds then the earliest REC_PENDING that
you can get is 5 seconds before the recording starts.
I think there is some confusion about minutes vs. seconds. The default
value for WakeUpThreshold, when not defined in the database, is 5 minutes.
My understanding is that the value in the database is in seconds.
I recommend removing the value from the database or setting it to 300
seconds.

Hope this helps and thanks for all the testing and reporting!
Klaas.
