As I understand it setting the maxrecordings to 6 is not a misconfiguration.
There could be another misconfiguration or it can be you found a real bug.
I suggest you make a ticket for this and then please attach the complete
mythbackend log that contains the error messages.
Also the database table capturecard, you can produce this with the
following mysql command:
select * from capturecard;
and attach this also.

Thanks,
Klaas.
