Re: [PATCH] Added Recording "Under" Time to enable tostart recordings early
[In reply to]

How about an extra option like this:
Consider Over Time as important
Under Time
Both Over and Under Time
Neither Over nor Under Time
Although I'm not much of a fan of adding more and more options (I like
to KISS) I can appreciate the need.
I had been thinking of list of scheduled recordings which you could
edit. So let's say you selected a program from the guide, you could
still go into that list and edit whatever you wanted about the program,
including the start and end time. Those times being the "official" times
it would never get cut short. The problem is that I don't know if this
will work, because I can imagine that MythTV does (or could) at times
check if the times in the progam guide have changed so manually editing
the times would just reset them the next time it gets compared against
the program guide.
Up to know I jsut fired up mysql and edited the times manually but it
never worked for some reason (thereby missing the last epidode of my
girlfriend's favorite soap, oops =)
So what sayeth ye, sir Isaac? Any ideas?
