Jeff, I discovered what I think is a nasty bug in what I can narrow down to happening when editing a recording time with the plug-in.
It looks like you're updating the gbpvr.mdb manual end time with the start time.
I couldn't work out why a 10 minute recording that I set through the EPG with a 10 minute post pad had ended after just 4 minutes (which happens to be my pre-pad time).
When I looked in the database this is the timing that I found:-
oid programme_oid capture_source_oid status filename recording_type recording_group manual_start_time manual_end_time manual_channel_oid quality_level pre_pad_minutes post_pad_minutes
92 96558 4 2 E:\My Videos\Dragons Den\Dragons Den_20060119_21502200.mpg 0 9 19/01/2006 21:50:00 19/01/2006 21:50:00 2 0 63 4
You can see from the filename that it should have run from 21:50 until 22:00. This is completely reproducible. Set up any recording via the EPG, then use the Videos plug in to edit the padding. The result will be that the programmes timing will now be for the start and end times to be the same thus all you'll get is the length of the padding.
I wasn't sure if this was the Videos plug-in or the gbpvr expose API's so I tried editing the padding via the gbpvr Recordings option and that behaves correctly so it looks pretty firmly in the domain of the Video Archive plug-in.
Fortunately, I'd seen this programme and after the first minute or two wasn't bothered, I was just surprised that it ended soon afterwards especially with the 10 minute padding that I had.
Regards
David.
