Personally, I'm happy with the status quo since I have reasonably accurate guide data and have no problems manually adjusting my recording scheduls as needed.
Agreed.
However, I am sympathetic with those users with less reliable guide data and their potential need for some form of "softer" scheduling.
What's always bothered me about this is that preroll serves a useful purpose and the fact that this magic behavior is possible by abusing it lead people to jump to the conclusion that this is what they're supposed to do and the scheduler is therefore supposed to take it into account. I'm thinking now that if there is going to be some sort of "softer" scheduling it should be just that, part of the schedule planning. I think it would make more sense to have a pair of variables for this, expressed in minutes, rather than usurping the preroll variables. These could be applied to the schedule in the context of scheduling and shown in the Upcoming Recordings (reclist) for the users to fix whatever problems they create for themselves. We should leave the preroll seconds out of it and limit their range to 0-29 seconds to be applied by the recorder at record time as it is now. -- bjm
