    When I schedule a show in TV for recordings, there is no option I can find to set the Start time and End times.
    Default is about 10 minutes before show and 10 minutes after.

    I even went into TV Setup and changed the start and end times to 1 minute before and 2 minutes after.

    Ideas or suggestions?

    The pre- / post-record times should be read from the TV database for creating new schedules (I have: pre 7, post 10). You have to configure them once inside SetupTV, after that they should apply to all new schedules

    Hi.
    Ok, I think it could be useful to have an option to set this individual for a schedule in GUI. Normally the times set in SetupTV (here it's 10 and 30 minutes and even this is not enough sometimes) are good, but there are special cases when it is necessary to alter this. Imagine the Soccer Worldcup Finals. Here overtime and penalty shootout after the regular match is possible. So at least one hour post recording time is needed (and by the way for every schedule that is planed after this game)... Atm I simply schedule the following program too, just to be sure. But this is not that comfortable.

    No matter what I do, I get the same results.

    This only is working for new created schedules. The old ones will keep the times that are set while they are created...
    The last entry I've added yesterday from MP2 GUI, so you see there my custom time applied...

    Well I figured out what is happening.
    I went into the client and removed the scheduled recordings
    Schedules.jpg

    Then I went into Setup TV and low and behold, the scheduled shows I removed in the client are still in the Setup TV Scheduled programs list
    SetupTV Schedules.jpg

    Client log shows were I sent to look at the schedules
    [2016-02-11 07:24:38,441] [48705 ] [InputMgr ] [DEBUG] - WorkflowManager: Entering workflow state 'View: Mork & Mindy'
    Does not appear to show that I removed the scheduled programs

    EDIT: After restarting the MP2-Server I went back into the Client, rescheduled the programs and now they showup with the correct Pre and Post settings set in Setup TV
