Firstly to the person i was speaking with in irc last night i apologize i was tired and cranky and shouldn't have started trying to sort out my problem at that point.
Though as a note to all developers you need to be patient and not jump down somebodys throat at the first chance you get. My sytsem is as follows Athlon64 3200+ 160gb sata hdd 512mb ram Nvidia video card doing tvout PVR-350 audigy2 sound card So to explain my issue. about a month ago i updated my system that was working to the latest atrpms packages. after the upgrade schueduled recordings stopped happening. the backend would lock up the input saying it was in use the show would show in the list of recodings but the file would be 0 bytes. i made no configuration changes. so i figured it was a bug introduced by Axel unfortunately i had cleaned my yum cache out the version i had been running was no longer available so i couldn't do a simple downgrade. So i figured why not update to svn and check out how the new things are going. so off i went and checked out the svn tree and built it. The current svn feature that records every show while annoying i think has been somewhat beneficial. (this was a bone of contention with whoever it was helping me) So let me state my reasoning's here for why i said its the same as scheduled recordings. so live tv uses different profiles yes. i have checked and all my profiles are exactly the same. so live tv gets recorded and the mpg file ends up in /home/shared along with my old scheduled recordings. I haven't looked at the code. but to me the classes that record to disk, change channels, do transcoding etc should be the same for both options in grabbing a tv show. the only difference being when not watching a scheduled recording you don't need the osd menus or to output the video. I like to watch and record some shows (SG1 and atlantis) while i watch them. so to me its the same thing it does the same thing i expect the same result. so while in the past the code was different between "recording and watching" and watching in that it used to buffer the show and delete it when watching tv and put to hdd whien recording. it now acts the same. i had assumed that the majority of the code was shared between the two application functions as the do such similar things, and to an end user they are almost identical. I did make one change to my configs since it stopped working Last night i turned off transcoding shows after recording. So i will see if this does anything. and when it all boils down maybe i have had something messed up from the start and was just lucky that things worked. and a bug fix exposed my screw up.
