[mythtv-users] [PATCH] Added Recording "Under" Time toenabletostart recordings early

[Joseph H. Fry]

How about using commercial detection to determine if the show is
actually over.  Say a show's scheduled time to end is 9:00, and a
commercial is detected at 8:58, recording ends and the next one starts.
If a commercial is not detected by the time the scheduled end time
elapses and no show is scheduled to start on that tuner, it continues to
record for a few more minutes waiting for one.  If there is a show
scheduled to start, it cuts the current show short.
