And in my opinion this IS related to this SVN - cause it is a bug. That it doesn't stop after 15s as you told above.
Don't argue with me if you cannot read the thread rules
There have been several builds already since anything has been changed for that feature...
However - your suggestion is pretty reasonable. Most of the time you're looking for new recordings therefore these will be handled first in the next build.
Furthermore I've tried to fix the 15 second issue and added the output of mtn to the log file.
Let's see how it works out...
