Start recording and keep watching LiveTV broken

[lomion@…]

When a scheduled recording is about to start while I am using the only recorder (set to 2 virtual recorders) for tivetv, I get the pop-up to decide what to do. Whe selecting "record and keep watching" it switches channel, starts playback but does not record it permanently. When I exit livetv the mythtv assumes it is still recording but it is not and the recorder is free. This behaviour worked in 0.24!

I'm noticing this too.

to expand on what is happening.

when a scheduled recording starts while the tuner is being used for livetv, that recording is placed in the LiveTV group and not the group the recording schedule specifies, be it default or another.

This causes the recording to not show in the Watch Recordings screen, and to expire.

In the logs it also looks like, in this case, when the user exits live tv the recording does indeed stop.

below is the log output from a recording that initiated during a LiveTV session on tuner 5:

so, even though the recording is scheduled, when the user leaves LiveTV it still stops the recording!

[Steven Adeff <adeffs.mythtv@…>]

If one changes the channel the recording also stops.

it looks as if this part of how live tv is handled is now broken.

[Steven Adeff <adeffs.mythtv@…>]

When this occurs, if you press the "record" button on the remote, myth says "recording cancelled", if you press it again, it again says, "recording canceled".

This patch helps with recording a LiveTV show but the pop-up is still not working as intended

Please consider raising the priority on this ticket. This bug makes LiveTV unsafe to use (as it risks missing scheduled recordings).
