#7369: Schedule amendments to an in-progress recording results in duplicate
recordings
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: mark@… | Owner: gigem
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: MythTV - Scheduling | Version: 0.21
Severity: medium | Mlocked: 0
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
I've witnessed some slightly strange behaviour here on v0.21. I'm using
Freeview in the UK (DVB-T) with the over-air EIT data.
I had a recording scheduled for a programme, where the previous programme
was over-running. As a result the scheduled start time was updated three
times after the recording had already commenced.
Each time the scheduled start time changed, Myth started a new recording.
Consequently by the time it actually started, Myth was recording four
instances of the same programme (had it not been for Multi-Rec it would
have run out of tuners!). The subsequent programmes were then pushed back
in the schedule, followed by a further update to the programme being
recorded with a new end time.
A screenshot of the upcoming recordings in Mythweb at this point is here
(plus a manually scheduled recording on tuner 5 to catch the delayed
ending):

Bizarrely it's showing two concurrent recordings on tuner 1, of which the
latter is based on the revised end time. In reality there were only four
recordings, one on each of tuners 1-4. All of these finished based on the
original rather than the revised end time:

The issues here are twofold:
1) It was filling up the disk space rather rapidly with quadruple
recordings, even though all four had the same programme ID (duplicate
detection didn't prevent this). In some instances this could also create
recording conflicts (though it didn't in this case);
2) All four recordings missed the end of the programme (my manually
scheduled recording got it, but only because I happened to be watching the
recording as it was broadcast).
