I tried to follow this thread "Improved scheduling of consecutiveprograms with pre-roll/overrecord" but didn't find out what it is
about.
As far as I understood does it take care for the extra time needed to switch
channels (reasonable in seconds) ?
What I like to see in mythtv is that I can add an additional default time, say
20 minutes for each movie.
When I have two or more consecutive recordings on the same channel, the extra time is not take into account except for the last
recording.
With the above feature I do not have to take care which movies overlap. Overlapped movies occupie another tuner, which I do not
want, so I have to take care about the extra time specified for each movie.
Please bare in mind that I still have 18.1-fixes, not looking in or testing the svn version, but I am always interested/learn new
features.
Would you think my proposed feature could be of interest ?

Personally, I'm happy with the status quo since I have reasonably

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.
