Changing recording schedules on the fly.

Sub, can the recording end time be changed programmatically when the are being recorded? The reason I would like this is I was reading about a SageTV plugin which adjusts recording time around sporting events that go too long by checking online for the status. I know I could use this.

If it is possible I envision a tuner plugin that creates the monitoring thread with no tuners in NRecord. It checks the site http://www.livepvrdata.com/events.jsp (mainly North American but the site itself can do other sports, I will push for F1) and if the event is ongoing it moves the end time before padding starts.

A second option would be big feature here in North America, even for non-sports fans. Typically on Sunday nights the football games go late and the stations don't cut the following programs. I'd like to move not only the end time but the start/end time of subsequent programs that are chained after the game.

Do you think this is possible?

From memory you can already go and update a recording to adjust it's end time while recording.

That would be nice. Right now we have to try to deal with this situation using padding and hope that the padding honored. Plus that results in bloated recording files.
