I recently changed my default padding settings to -1 for pre-padding and +1 for post padding.   I want the recordings to start 1 minute after the epg start time and continue to 1 minute after the epg end time.

I've found a few issues with scheduling recurring recordings using these settings.

Scenario 1 - EGP lists the following shows on the same day & channel:

4 PM Local News
5 PM Local News

If I schedule the 4PM to record "daily in this timeslot", it will schedule both the 4PM and 5PM shows in the pending recordings (while recurring shows only the 4 PM show).   If I go into pending recordings, I can delete the 5 PM versions but they will reappear after the next EPG update.

Scenario 2

9 PM The National
10 PM The National
11 PM The National

If scehdule the 10 PM to record daily in this timeslot, it will scehdule all 3 shows in the Pending recordings (while recurring will show only the 10 PM show).

Scenario 3

2 AM View From Above
2:30 AM Business News
3 AM View From Above
3:30 AM Business News
4 AM Veiw From Above

If I schedule the 3 AM show to record daily in this timelslot the 2 AM and 4 AM shows will also schedule in Pending recordings (while recurring shows only the 3 AM show).

The show correctly record 1 minute after the start time to 1 minute after the end time.   If I go into pending and remove all the unwanted duplicate showings, they will all reappear after the next EPG update.

If I use a positive pre-padding value or zero, I don't have any of these issues, it only seems to be when I set pre-padding to -1.

You forgot to send your zipped logs which help us explain recording rule failures.

A timeslot recording will automatically schedule a show with the same name, that is (by default) within +/- 90 minutes of the show you original requested. The main reason for this logic is to accommodate slight variances to the schedule each week. For example, you might have made a timeslot recording for show that airs at 9pm on Thursday, but one night they might move it to 10pm and it'll still be recorded.

You can however tweak the <TimeSlotMinutes> setting in config.xml. You can set it to zero if you don't want it to match shows with the same name but different times.

That's why I wanted to see the logs. The 4pm and 5pm shouldn't have both been recorded but the negative padding seems to be breaking the rule.

Thanks ! I changed <TimeSlotMinutes> to 0 but then my recording showed up in the recurring list but none in pending. I went back and changed the value to 10 and now get just 1 instance of the show. Thanks for the tip. This cured a problem I had because my provider has about 60 second latency.
