How to extended an already recording program?

yako · 2008-08-11, 02:09

I'm using MediaPortal RC2.

Example of the situation:
EPG says it'll run from 1-3pm. (2hrs)
Watching live TV, the show/game goes over time for 1hr, how do you extend the recording to tell it you now want it to record til 4pm instead?

I tried the post-record option while the recording was running, but to no luck did it extended it. So I ended up having to manually record it so it end up having to recorded files.

Anyone tried working around this situation before?

If the EPG doesn't actually match what is really being broadcast... then that sucks.

(typical of Oz really). Currently you have to manually ask it to record the slot after the program.

There are options somewhere to specify how long before and after the actual EPG times that a recording should record for.

I have MP set to record 10 mins before the start and 1/2 an hour after the supposed end, to hedge against this kind of thing.
