[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 1255655, member: 83973"] Another 'feature' at work here is that the recording scheduler thread will keep trying to start a recording when no tuner card is available (or has failed to tune). So if you have a recording running with zero post padding, and have a following recording (that is on a different mux and can't be put on another tuner) with some pre-padding, the second recording won't actually start until the first one has finished. This might give the illusion that 'active' soft-padding is happening in this situation, but actually it's just an artifact of how the dynamic tuner card allocation/scheduler thread logic works. Note there is no pre-allocation of tuners to recordings when schedules are set up - allocation only happens at the instant the scheduler thread decides to start a recording and requests a 'card reservation'.
