thanks for the reply. again i have no padding set, preroll or postroll

on any of the rules themselves or in the setup/video/general/advanced.

they are all zero. i still don't understand given what you are saying

why the earlier show would run over. i have not changed anything in the

setup of tuners / mulitrecs since i set it up years ago, and it never

did this before. it changed somewhere in an update at .28. on the ota,

it is rare that i would want to record off of a single channel with sub

channels as the quality and content of those subs is not what i am

usually recording, i set it at two as that is the most i have ever

needed. this is not qam, this is ota channels. i appreciate the

explanation. but still don't understand why with no front or back

padding the earlier shows on only the same channel are running over.







I also have this same problem with the same information about pre and post roll for episodes. The extra 30 seconds is only added to the recording(s) with a recording happening on the same channel immediately afterwards.  



I do notice in the database table recorded that the start time is not modified for the episode, and 30 seconds is added to the ending time for the episode being recorded.



Something in the scheduler is adding it, and I haven’t dug into the code to figure it out. I have looked at the code, and have not seen any comments in it that would give a clue what is going on.



Regards,



Jay

after removing the multirecs and going to 1 encoder per tuner, the 30 second padding issue on the same channel back to back stopped and i get the correct recording lengths again. I very seldom need the multirec especially with 4 tuners doing ota, so I will leave it like this. but i do believe this is a bug.
