[mythtv-users] Exiting near end of still-recording program results in no bookmark set

[John Veness]

I have the setting "Action on playback exit: Save position and exit". 
This saves a bookmark when I press Esc while playing a recording, 
allowing me to resume from where I left off.

However, if I start playing a program while it is still being recorded, 
and skip right up to the end (or as close to the edn as I can get, which 
is a few seconds before the end), then press Esc, a bookmark is *not* 
set. This means that when I play the recording again, it starts from the 
beginning rather than when I got up to.

I often "chase play" recordings like this, like sporting events, where I 
start playing the program late and skip through the adverts, and catch 
up to the live broadcast. It's OK if I continue playing, but if I stop, 
no bookmark is set and it's annoying when it happens. The workaround is 
to pause or skip back a few seconds before stopping, but I keep 
forgetting to do so.

I think this problem is new in 0.23 or 0.24. It certainly happens now 
with up-to-date 0.24-fixes, and I certainly don't recall it happening in 
0.22 and earlier (I only used 0.23 for a day or two).

I've searched in trac but can't find a ticket about this. I just wanted 
to check here before raising one. Do other people see this?

Cheers,

John
