Latest SVN - sorry thought that was implied but I should have said. > The important question here is actually why did it stop recording? Bad > program guide data? Godd program guide data, but a network that was > broadcasting 1 1/4 hours off schedule? ... Guide data was fine, network was on schedule and PC clock was perfect. I found the recording had stopped whilst the film was still showing. I was able to watch the last 20 minutes of the film and the guide data had not changed during the showing. > Delete and allow re-record simply deletes the file and removes the > "recorded" recstatus from the oldrecorded table so that any rule that > matches the program--even if using duplicate detection--will record it. > If you don't have a recording rule that matches the program, it won't be > recorded. Surely hitting record whilst watching a programme should add a scheduling rule?

I don't watch LiveTV - I was testing out the changes and happened to discover a film I was interested in. :) Delete and re-record should search for another showing even if the original rule was to record 'only this showing'? Again if it doesn't, then it should. -- Stuart Morgan _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
