Recording conflict when no need

[djtaylor]

I have two programmes on one channel that I want to record, same title, consecutive hours and then on another channel the same thing.

I couldn't work out why I was being told there was a conflict so I looked in the database and can now see why, below is a link to a screenshot:-

For the first programme, it's using both tuners to account for the pre and post padding but then when it comes to record the other two consecutive programmes on the other channel, one of the tuners is still busy so can't handle this.

I know i'm not the first to encounter this so what's the best way to automatically record both consecutive shows on the both channels? Ideally a little more logic in gbpvr would solve this but I accept that this isn't there right now. Even to show in the conflicts screen which tuner will be used would allow the user to shift the tuner so that effectively I could set one channel to use in my case, tuner oid 4 for one pair of shows and tuner oid 6 for the other 2 on the other channel.

I suppose I can do this directly in the database too but i'm sure someone has a better way?

Yes, I'm aware of this situation that can occur in multi-tuner systems. I'll add logic to cope with it in a later release.

Cool, look forward to it.

Thank you!
