Read the second paragraph of the commit message to see why--even with
SVN's "instant record" feature--you should always use a Manual Recording.
There's nothing there about why one should not use such a feature.
Oh. I'm sorry. Copy/paste error. I meant to post the link on the post
whose link I posted. In other words, second paragraph of:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/153279#153279
The same link I used in the last post as reason why you shouldn't use
instant timer record.
Now
myth has the basic tech working, I think more effort should go into
making it user friendly.
IMHO, it's a waste of developer time because it's a workaround for
systems that don't contain guide data.
The myth interface is pretty hard to sell when a family member says "on
the video I used to just press record - here Ive got to spend ages
navigating obscure menus, can you put the video back and remove that
thing"
But, if you actually have guide data--as Myth was designed to be
used--it's much easier to use than a VCR because Myth knows when to stop
recording and gives the recording a good name with a good description.
