[mythtv-users] [PATCH] Added Recording "Under" Time to enable to start recordings early

[Tako Schotanus]

The setting can be changed in the same screen where you can set the 
"Recording Over Time".
I know "Recording Under Time" sounds silly but it _is_ the opposite of  
"Recording Over Time" =)
Others can think of a better label, I just wanted to get this patch out 
because I needed it at this moment (never trust Dutch programs to start 
or end at the designated times!)

While looking at the code to make this patch I _did _ notice that the 
conflict handling stuff doesn't seem to take into account the Over Time 
setting (and neither does it the Under Time course). Maybe people 
normally set Over Time to short values (therefore you set it in seconds 
instead of minutes?) but I would probably set Under Time to 5 minutes 
and Over Time to at least 10-15 to make sure that minor delays are taken 
into account (wouldn't want to miss the ending of the last episode of my 
favorite show!). Just letting you know.

Have fun,
 -Tako

PS: I know! I should probably send this to the dev list instead ;-)
