This is a single tuner Front & Back End system.  Scheduled recordings complete normally when the system interface is _not_ left on Live-TV.  If the system is left on Live-TV, and on the same channel as the scheduled recording, the program can be located in the Live-TV cache (/var/lib/mythtv/livetv) but does not appear in "Media Library- Watch Recordings" unless the filter is changed to show the Live-TV daily cache.  Finally, if the system is left on Live-TV and not on the same channel as the scheduled recording, it will not auto tune to the scheduled recording and the program will not get recorded at all.This is a single tuner Front & Back End system.  Scheduled recordings complete normally when the FE interface is _not_ left on Live-TV.  If the system is left on Live-TV, and on the same channel as the scheduled recording, the program can be located in the Live-TV cache (/var/lib/mythtv/livetv) afterwards, however, the program does not appear in "Media Library- Watch Recordings" unless the filter is changed to show the Live-TV daily cache.  Finally, if the system is left on Live-TV and not on the same channel as the scheduled recording, it will typically doesn't auto tune to the scheduled recording and the program will not get recorded at all- however, please note this behavior is inconsistent.Priorities are not altered from defaults.  Sometimes Live-TV will auto tune to the channel of the scheduled recording, and sometimes it doesn't.  It seems more likely to auto-tune when the system has not been human interacted with for a long duration (hours).  Even still, the recording can only be found in the Live-TV cache.   Recording priorities are not altered from defaults.  Sometimes Live-TV will auto tune to the channel of the scheduled recording, and sometimes it doesn't.  It seems more likely to auto-tune when the system has not been human interacted with for a long duration (hours).  Even still, the recording can only be found in the Live-TV cache.   == JUMP, SKIP, FFWD ==Jump is 10 minutes, Skip is 30 seconds (both by default). The settings for these times are available under Settings, TVSettings, Playback Groups in the frontend. FFWD - fast forwardlook at the TOGGLESTRETCH keybinding. That canbe used to instantly turn timestretch on/off at a specified speed upto 2x. The advantage of timestretch over FF is that you still haveaudio. The disadvantage is that it only goes to 2x speed.......................To answer you question (plus a bit more than you asked for, since youseem to have a little confusion on what's available), you have 6different ways to move through a program besides normal 1X playback.1) You can jump, which (I believe) is in increments of minute with 10being default, and I don't believe there are separate settings forforward and back. I don't recall which key does this.2) You can seek, which is in increments of second...don't recall thedefault, and this is configurable for forward and back (I use 30seconds forward, 10 seconds. The keys for this are SEEKFFWD andSEEKRWND.3) Using those same keys, you can actually seek an arbitrary number ofminutes forward or backward. If you want to jump ahead 23 minutes, youhi the keys 2, then 3, then SEEKFFWD. To jump back 1 hour 24 minutes,you'd hit 124 then SEEKRWND.4) You can use the FFWDSTICKY and RWNDSTICKY keys to seek through athigh speed. This is similar to how a VCR/DVD player allows you tofastforward and rewind while still watching the video. You get nosound when doing this. You can configure the playback speedsincrements (default is something like 2X, 5X, 20X, etc), but there isno GUI for it so you have to modify them in the database directly. Idid release a patch for 0.21 that allows you to configure theincrements in the GUI, as well as give you some better control of someof the settings, but nobody took an interest in adding it. I'm notsure how well it applies against 0.22 now. The patch is in ticket4492.5) You can use the stretch feature to adjust the playback rate frombetween 0.5X (I think) and 2.0X. This is user adjustable at playbacktime. You can use the ADJUSTSTRETCH key to bring up a speed adjustmentcontrol during playback, or you can use TOGGLESTRETCH, STRETCHINC, andSTRETCHDEC keys. One advantage of this over the other methods is thatyou continue to hear audio.6) You can also playback in slow motion using the SPEEDDEC key.== EPG Off by 1 hour after DST ==EPG / Electronic Program Guide is off by one hour after DST / Daylight Savings Time use mythconverg; select * from program limit 50; truncate table program;
