Comment:

 This issue is still a problem. I see the fix was committed back in 2005,
 but I'm seeing it in 0.20 releases built from code that is just a few
 months old.

 I've also observed two different behaviors for this problem.

 In one case hitting "Never Record" 2 to 3 times resolves it. Sometimes
 hitting refresh after hitting "Never Record" once will do it. This case is
 undoubtedly the same as the one xris addressed with the patch that adds a
 delay, though it seems like there should be a more deterministic solution
 than using a fixed delay, which will be too short in some cases and
 unnecessarily long in others. I'm also wondering if maybe there is some
 error checking missing somewhere along the way... (I'll look into the code
 myself if someone can provide some high-level info on how the mythweb <->
 myth-backend interaction works and a few pointers to source files.)

 With the other situation, which I've seen far more rarely, multiple clicks
 on "Never Record" have no effect. Yet the recording status can be changed
 using Mythfrontend. I'm not sure, but I think I observed a message logged
 by myth-backend saying that the program ID was -1. Further investigation
 is required.

 In both cases no feedback is provided to the user. The status just remains
 unchanged. I'd at least like to see the first issue addressed, and this
 variation can be addressed in another ticket.
