Has anyone noticed the lack of granularity in the recordserver plugin?
No. ;) j/k ... to a certain extent, yes.
Depending on when it starts, you could miss up to an entire minute of what you are recording. For example, if the recordserver starts at 12:00:59, then all recordings will begin at the scheduled time, at 59
If recordserver starts at 12:00:59 then it will set the timer loop up at 12:01:00. When recordserver starts it figures out the "top of the minute" and resets the loop to that (the difference is reported in the logs, might need debug on). The check is still only done one minute after that and I made the assumption that television show's start times are only resolved down to the rounded minute. If your system time and TV provider's time are both correct you should see no offset. I use no record padding at all and my recordings start / stop almost perfectly.
There are of course issues dealing with record padding and values that aren't resolved to a rounded minute since the loop only checks once per minute.

If we made the loop check more often then we'd also have to double check on any programs that were just started that also match the current time.
