Description

The autoexpire code which is supposed to remove short recordings isn't working for me.

mysql> select starttime, endtime from recorded where recgroup = "LiveTV";
+---------------------+---------------------+
| starttime           | endtime             |
+---------------------+---------------------+
| 2005-12-16 11:31:32 | 2005-12-16 12:00:00 |
| 2005-12-16 11:31:33 | 2005-12-16 11:32:00 |
| 2005-12-16 11:31:09 | 2005-12-16 12:00:00 |
| 2005-12-16 11:30:55 | 2005-12-16 12:00:00 |
| 2005-12-16 11:30:54 | 2005-12-16 12:00:00 |
| 2005-12-16 11:30:36 | 2005-12-16 12:00:00 |
| 2005-12-16 11:30:37 | 2005-12-16 12:00:00 |

obviously I was channel surfing, as the starttimes change quickly, but the endtime is still set to the program end time.

This results in autoExpire doing nothing with these since this check always fails: endtime < DATE_ADD(starttime, INTERVAL '2' MINUTE)

However, you'll see there is one file which has an endtime of 11:32:00 which is probably correct, and this one got deleted appropriately. Not sure why none of the rest worked correctly. This is based on latest SVN8291

I probably should have emtioned in the title that this is related to LiveTV ,not regular recordings.

(In [8306]) Fixes #821.

FinishRecording?() was not being called on some recordings in LiveTV. This commit fixes all the normal cases, but there may still error cases that are not caught.

I am still seeing this issue pretty frequently as of 8391. Is there some data I can provide that'll help track it down?

(In [8468]) References #821. Attempt to fix the issue with some short LiveTV recordings not having their end times updated which causes them to not be expired properly. Also, fix one place where we assign curRecording to a newly allocated ProgramInfo? but didn't delete the old one if one was allocated.

(In [8567]) Fixes #821.

When flipping through channels quickly enough that the recorder doesn't have time to start up, the recorder is never shut down and so the recording's end time is never set. This sets the end time for these rump 'recordings'.

Also if the recording is less than 30 seconds long the recording end time was often being set as before the recording start time by the rounding rutines in FinishedRecording?(). This adds a check for this and sets the end time so that the recording is at least 1 second long in the DB in these cases.
