[mythtv-users] Recording Pending System Event triggering 4 times?

[Alan W. Bak]

Hi

I am using the recording pending System Event to launch a Perl program 
to change the channel on a STB. The program writes messages to a log 
file and the output shows that the program is launched 4 times for each 
pending recording (every 30 seconds starting 2 minutes before recording).

     2025-02-26 19:58:00    recording pending, mapping 10208 -> 384 -> 
/usr/Q_event/0384.sh
     2025-02-26 19:58:30    recording pending, mapping 10208 -> 384 -> 
/usr/Q_event/0384.sh
     2025-02-26 19:59:00    recording pending, mapping 10208 -> 384 -> 
/usr/Q_event/0384.sh
     2025-02-26 19:59:30    recording pending, mapping 10208 -> 384 -> 
/usr/Q_event/0384.sh

Any idea on why this is happening and how I can reduce it to a single 
run? Also, can I set the lead time for a recording pending event?

Thanks!
