UpdateScheduledRecording on recording groups

[alibert]

Hi,

there seems to be a problem when calling "UpdateScheduledRecording" on an existing recording group.

For example, I'm using the following code to schedule a ''weekly" season recording:

Code:

// Schedule recording
scheduledRecording = ScheduleHelper.getInstance().SheduleRecording(
    ChannelOid, StartTime.AddMinutes(-Config.AllowableTimeslotVariance),
    StartTime.AddMinutes(Config.AllowableTimeslotVariance), GbpvrProgramme,
    ScheduledRecording.TYPE_RECORD_SEASON, ScheduledRecording.GROUP_ALLOCATE,
    Title, quality, keepRecordings, (int)Math.Pow(2, (int)StartTime.DayOfWeek));

// Check if paddings differ from defaults
if (Config.PreShowPadding != prePadding || Config.PostShowPadding != postPadding)
{
    // Update paddings
    scheduledRecording.setPrePadMinutes(prePadding);
    scheduledRecording.setPostPadMinutes(postPadding);
    ScheduleHelper.getInstance().UpdateScheduledRecording(scheduledRecording);
}

The problem is that the paddings only seem to get updated for the scheduled recording with status "4" (STATUS_PLACE_HOLDER), thus only the scheduled recoring representing the recording group gets updated, and not the "normal" scheduled recordings that belong to that group.

My question is now, if this behaviour is intended, or if there is a chance that this will be changed to update all recordings of a group when calling "UpdateScheduledRecording"?

Thanks in advance for an answer,

This is the expected behaviour.

The new padding values will only be applied to new recordings scheduled. ...but this combined with the default 'complete EPG reload' setting will mean that the individual episodes will normally be updated at the next EPG update (when they'll be deleted and recreated).
