[mythtv-users] padding question

[glen]

beginning somewhere in the updates to .28 i started getting a strange
padding issue on my ota recordings. i had 2 hdhomerun dual tuners and
just now replaced them with one hdhomerun quattro unit, but the same 4
tuners. each set to multirec of 2 per tuner to allow for subchannel and
main channel on one tuner. i have no padding set in any recording rule
and none set under setup/video/advanced where the option is also
provided.

what happens is this: if i record a program running from say 8pm-9pm on
a channel and then have a program scheduled from 9pm to 10pm on the
same channel. the recording of the first goes over around 30 seconds.
the second show is correct, unless there is a third show on the same
channel to be recorded, then that goes over also. the scheduler will
almost always assign a different tuner to the 2nd show. if i have all
four tuners being used, it was that there was no padding. now i notice
that even with all four being used i still get the padding, this may be
only since i switched out to the quatro. I have a feeling that it
somehow has to do with multirec, but this is something that never
happened for the six years i have been using myth. 

if anyone has any ideas how to avoid please let me know. also when i
would force the back to back shows on same channel to the same tuner
number, it did not happen, but i don't know if that is currently the
case. it's not a real big thing, but i would like to correct the
behavior if possible. i am running on arch linux, on their current
mythtv packages. which is now 29.0-b4e4ddcf97

thanks.
