Comment (by anonymous):

 I'm not worried about how much it actually records. I think that is being
 handled fine. The intent of this ticket was to have the end times of
 recordings being displayed correctly after the recording has ended. Two
 examples are below:

 1. I start recording at 8:30. The show goes to 9pm. I restart mythbackend
 at 8:45. According to mythfrontend, I now have one recording going from
 8:30pm - 9:00pm and another going from 8:45pm - 9:00pm. Actually, I have
 one going from 8:30pm - 8:45pm and another going from 8:45pm - 9:00 pm.

 2. I have a show scheduled at 8:30pm and none scheduled before or after
 it. I have 120 seconds of pre-roll and overrecord set. The show actually
 starts recording at 8:28pm, and ends at 9:02pm. Mythfrontend displays the
 show as having started at the correct time, but displays it as having
 ended at 9:00pm.

 I hope I've made it clear that my problem is the following: after a
 recording is completed, you know when it ended. So you should show when it
 ended as the end time. It doesn't make sense to do anything else. You know
 the real end time. Display it.

 I don't care how overrecord / pre-roll is actually handled at all, and it
 is irrelevent to this issue. I only care that after a recording is done,
 it's end time is the actual end time of the recording.
