Hi,

I believe I have found the problem. My server and clients were
set correctly to the timezone GB. The Network boot M10K box
was set in-correctly to the UTC time zone.

In this case the client seems to be unable to determine the length
of a recording correctly ....

This only occurs in the current MythTv CVS. Version 0.16 is Ok ...

I guess this is some bug in MythTv as I would not have though that
this should occur even if the client and host were in different time zones ?

Terry
