So, my original statement holds true that johnny should set hard over/under record options on his recording rules to bump the programs as conflicting in the scheduler which will achieve this result.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>OK. That makes sense, and that best describes the behaviour I'm experiencing. However, I think it would be much easier if Myth could recognise my global soft setting, and automatically bump the second recording to a different virtual tuner if there is one available. The wiki seems to suggest I wouldn't need the hard padding:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Multirec">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Multirec</a><br>Use Case 2:<br>User has MythTV set up to always start recording five minutes before
and after the scheduled time. User schedules recording of two
back-to-back programmes on the same channel, or on different channels
carried on the same transport. Only one tuner should be used to record
both, despite the overlap.<br><br>The first sentence of the use case seems to suggest soft padding rather than hard padding. But if I set two back-to-back programmes like that without the hard padding, there will be no overlap between the recordings. Is the wiki describing it wrong?<br>
