Specifically, the message displayed in the 'Encoder status' section is problematic: ""Encoder 1 is local on server and is recording: 'Star Trek: The Enemy Within' on TVLAND. This recording will end at 7:00 AM."" However, suppose that RecordOverTime is set to 300 seconds (or 5 minutes). If no recordings are scheduled at 7:00 AM, and the HTTP status page is accessed at 7:02 AM, the encoder status message above will still be displayed -- which says that it is still recording (which is correct), but that the recording ""will end"" two minutes ago. Perhaps a simple fix is to replace the text ""This recording will end at 7:00 AM"", with ""This program ends at 7:00 AM"". Then the message is no longer incorrect -- although it may not be obvious why it is still recording. It may also be desired to further improve the overall display of information on this page to reflect RecordPreRoll and RecordOverTime, but those changes are probably more subject to opinion (should the program times be shown, or the recording times?) I am using MythTV 0.21 revision 20567. (The HTTP status information I am referring to can be accessed through a web browser on port 6544 by default, or via the Mythweb plugin. The RecordPreRoll and RecordOverTime settings allow MythTV to start a recording early or end a recording late, if no other program is scheduled to record before or after, respectively. This helps for TV networks that do not air programs at an accurate time. These values can be set through mythfrontend in 'Utilities / Setup' > 'Setup' > 'TV Settings' > 'General' > page 4, first two settings.)",defect,closed,trivial,0.22,MythTV - General,0.21-fixes,medium,fixed,,,0
