In my case I did give the version in an earlier posting (8092).
And Myth is NOT trying to hide the LiveTV recordings at all, they are just
there along my real recordings. (looking through mythweb)

But i can live with them showing up if they are automatically erased later on,
but I cannot live with the original stutter I reported with a log like this:
