[mythtv-users] recording priorities

[Joshua King]

IIRC, this is because the overrecord does not take priority over another
recording. If the tuner card is needed for another recording the *global*
overrecord setting won't be used.

The settings on each recording schedule would give you the behaviour you're
expecting. That is if you had set in the recording schedule "End recording
10 minutes late" for My Restaurant Rules you would instead cause CSI to come
up in Myth as a conflict and not be recorded.

The global overrun only takes effect if the tuner is not needed for another
recording, the recording schedule overrun always takes effect and as such
will trigger conflicts if the number of simultaneous recordings is greater
than the number of tuners.

Hope this helps,

Joshua King
