feature request
Not sure if this is in cvs or not, so ignore if it is...

MythTV encoded my first scheduled program last night, and I was upset to
see that it missed the first 15-30 seconds or so.. Any chance we can
get an "encode x minutes before program" option on top of the "after"
one that's already there?

And what does Myth do when shows are scheduled sequentially but on
different channels? I'd personally like it to ignore the before/after
settings at that point...

Anyway, back to playing (well, or going to see my mom and mother-in-law
for mother's day).

This is a cute response but really not very useful advice. The reality of
cheap, drifty clocks on PCs means that their time will never be accurate
enough for automated recording unless they sync externally, via NTP for
example, fairly often (daily is my own practice) to a more accurate clock.
Unless there is a way of putting a 3-minute custom timezone offset into
your locale (for all I know there is this capability, since there are a
couple of real timezones with 30-minute offsets), this suggestion will not
work very well with NTP updates.

The original poster is correct that this is a feature request for the
developers.

As to the other question, an unaddressed issue here is latency in starting
and stopping the v4l stuff. My experience (from pre-Myth capturing with a
cheap Hauppauge) is that you cannot schedule a stop and start with less
than 2 minutes' separation and count on the second start being able to
access the v4l device. THis was using crond, though, which is only accurate
to a minute ... does anyone know the corresponding limitation for Myth's timer?

Personally, I would lean toward treating any end-start gap of less than the
underlying latency (including whatever "edge padding" is specified) as a
conflict.

Perhaps a timeoffset field can be added to the
channel table? Something like "this channel
always starts 2mins early", "this channel always
starts 37 seconds late" and "this channel starts
at random times"?

Because this isn't always the case. I'm just guessing here, but show
starting time will probably depend heavily upon advertising segment
length, etc. Easier to just tell Myth to start recording a minute or
two early for ALL recordings - especially once the editing capabilities
can save the splices to a new file.

yeah. hence my suggestion of needing a way to handle the conflict in
cases like this. For me, I'd rather just cut both of the overlays and
start/stop on the hour - but other people might rather miss the
beginning of a show than the last minute of something that might end
late. should be a fairly easy option to add control for this, no?...

Umm... that wouldn't work, since if you it in the mythtv module, and the
TV were off, you wouldn't get your recording and you weren't watching
the TV anyway. Wouldn't it be better if it prompted (a la Tivo) that it
was about to start a recording (a minute early) and gave the option to
cancel the upcoming recording, while defaulting to "record as planned"?

You mean exactly how mythtv's done it for ages now? Except it defaults to
watching it while it records.

Related question... say I have two frontends and a dual tuner backend...
both frontends are in live tv mode... which frontend will the recording
try to interrupt? The one that scheduled the recording? I would prefer
it be so if that's not the current default... as my roommate may be into
their show and not care that I wanted to record something, or vise
versa!

I asked this question once before but never got a response.

That's what it does at the moment... I strictly leave livetv mode
whenever I turn the TV off (I don't want it using all ym CPU time and
heating my room up when I'm not watching tv). It's annoying to have a
popup box appear in the middle of what you're watching if you consider
livetv more important than something that you're recording. And last
night it was even more annoying because what I was watching on live tv had
been paused for about 5 minutes, the box popped up and I told it to cancel
the recording but it just went ahead and did it anyway (I'll have to try
and reproduce that problem) - ok so I cancelled the recording immediately
and went back to liveTV but obviously it had lost the 5 minutes of the
program that were buffered :(

I believe (I only have one tuner, so I'm not sure) it will attempt to record
on the first available tuner; if both tuners are watching LiveTV, it will
interrupt the the lowest-numbered tuner (the one defined first in the
database). So, whichever frontend is watching LiveTV through that tuner is
the one that will get the popup. Can someone confirm?

Don't know if it works this way, as I only have a single tuner, but what
would be nice would be if both tuners were watching LiveTV, and the first
tuner said 'no, don't record, let me continue LiveTV', then it would move on
to the second tuner and put up the popup; maybe the person watching the
second tuner will let it record.

Correct. The scheduler doesn't consider if a tuner is being
used for live TV because there is no telling if that tuner
will be in use when a future recording starts.

When starting live TV, it first checks if there is a tuner
available on the same host as the frontend. If not, it checks
for the first available tuner anywhere. If none, then an SOL
messages is printed.

For recording, the first show is assigned to the first card,
the next overlapping to the next card, etc. in the order the
cards were added in setup. If someone is watching live TV on
card 1 and there is one show to record, the user will be
prompted even if there is another unused card.

There is no correlation between which frontend was used when
choosing a show to record and which tuner is chosen when it is
time to record.

RE: Feature request [In reply to]
Sounds to me like a feature that should be implemented then...

Obviously if there is a tuner unused you would want to use it to
record... but if not, who would want to interrupt the frontend other
than the one that scheduled the recording... you know your wife or kid
or roommate could care less about the show that you want to record.

I have tv's in my office, and my roommates bedroom. How difficult would
it be to have an entry in the database to store which frontend was used
to schedule the recording (maybe it's IP address), and then when myth
checks to see if there are available tuners and finds none it would
check to see if that particular frontend is in "live tv mode" and if so
it defaults to the tuner that it is using.

I can't imagine that it would be too much code... I know it's not a
simple change, but it's not a major one either I wouldn't think.

Not that I could do it... but if anyone is just trying to find their
next major contribution, give it a whirl!

Isn't that what the "colour" adjustment is for? Or are you talking
about storing color/saturation adjustments on a per-show basis?

Well, not *quite* per-show, more like 'per-content'. He's got a single
channel (i.e., 'frequency') that broadcasts different 'channels' (i.e.,
content) at different times during the day. So, for most of the day
it's a cartoon channel, during which he wants the color/saturation to
be at one setting. Then he would like a different setting used during
the time of the day when it transmits the Playboy channel (uhh... the
same channel has cartoons AND Playboy??? I don't know whether to be
excited or disturbed.)

The current solution would be to create 3 different channels with the
same channum & freqid, but different descriptions and chanid. Or
something like that; I *think* it's doable. But, as to the problem of
them showing up as three distinct 24-hr-a-day channels in the EPG,
you're kind of SOL without writing a whole bunch of code. Be an
interesting feature, though...

You didn't try the hidden legend in MythWeb? I only found it by
accident when my mouse ran over it.

In the menu row it says:
MythTV: Listings Movies ...

Hover your mouse over "MythTV:"

The legend will appear like magic.

Also in the settings of the latest version you can define those colors
the way you want.

dashed is a duplicate recording, dotted is a recording deactivated for
another reason. Unfortunately, that code is a bit old and should be
updated to account for all of the various reasons that I now have access
to.

Yeah, that needs to be more prominent

Since when? The color control is all in the css file for the chosen
theme. There's no easy way to put this info into the settings section.

Is there a way that if a program is set to be recorded at another time
that MythWeb can display when the alternate time is?

Bryan,

I would think that this would be best handled when you select the
duplicated program to record. I'd expect to see "you have already
chosen to record this program at another time/channel. Would you like
to continue with this recording?"
