As I said above, it is still possible to get back to back recordings on the same tuner if you've got several recordings in short period of time and are unlucky enough to have them created in a certain order.

Also note that if you've just changed that setting, it'll only apply to new recordings schedule, not those that are already pending.

This is nothing new though, and was exactly the same in previous releases.

ok good to know

keep in mind it wont effect recordings already scheduled in pending list, only new ones that get added in future.

Doh! That explains why my padding values are not effecting my pending recordings!

Thanks sub

Its also important to note that this setting is only recommended if you have more than two tuners. With two or less you should leave it set to 'false'.

My GF has complained a few times in the past about the ends of shows getting chopped, this would explain it. Since i have 6 tuners i think i'll turn that settings on. What version was it introduced in?

Thanks.

What version was it introduced in?

I'm not sure. It was about a year and a half ago. Its off be default since it often leads to conflicts on two tuner systems.

ok ive re added it
checked the config
checked that tv2 can be recorded on all tuners
restarted (maybe thats why! it hasnt crashed since installing new version)
anything else

Remember it'll only apply to new recordings schedule, not those that are already pending.
