<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is the definition of a damaged recording? I use an
antenna and I have a couple of channels that are very weather
dependent. I often get short recordings with lots and lots of
dropped frames. The start and stop times, on these short
recordings, are correct but the total play time is short as
shown in playback, maybe 55mins out of a 1hr recording. Are
these classified as damaged?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second question, is there a setting to allow the scheduler
to auto re-record and replace damaged showings, possibly at
lower priority? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>thanks</div>

My experience is that damaged recordings do automatically get
re-recorded. At least with 0.27 and 0.28. Now what constitutes
damaged, I don't know. I have seen recordings with a few dropouts
be deemed not damaged and some as damaged. There is probably some
error count threshold someplace. I have also observed that with
severe damage, the commercial commflagging process will sometimes
segfault, restarting the backend. This can be bad if another
recording is taking place at the time. You might consider marking
such channels as commercial free to avoid that if it is an issue for
you.<br>
