[mythtv-users] Recordings are 5 seconds short

[Ashley Bostock]

I find this is always the case when recording programs in myth,  if
you record 2 programs back to back there is always a small gap between
one finishing and the other starting.  I just assumed that it took a
short pause to finish processing the last recording and setup the next
one.
