OK, if I set this for recording rules, it expands the recording it
matches and creates conflicts - eg if one program finishes at 8pm,
then it won't record a program on a different mux that starts at 8pm.
With padding, it is scheduling as if one program finishes at 8:10 and
the later one starts at 7:55 (with -5/+10 settings).
I do have DefaultEndOffset and DefaultStartOffset set in the settings
page of MythWeb, and it is padding recordings when possible. Just
checking, I've got recordings for TOTP2 on Dave : The first in a set
started at 7am, is 35min long (extra 5 min at start), and ended at
7:30. Then there are two that are 30min long, and finally one that is
40min long (10 min padding at end).
