Recording Time does not match actual file length
Hey!

The recording time cited when a person hits "watch a recording" is not
decided by the actual amount of time present in the file, which can cause
problems.. Specifically, this problem shows itself when one begins
recording in the middle of a show..

Perhaps the start time can be recorded? and then instead of it saying
3:00pm to 3:30pm, it could say 3:19 - 3:30 or such? Another way that the
duration of the file could be determined is by doing one of those
calculations that mp3 players definitely do.. something like time = file
length / bitrate or something..

Yep. I added the ability to start recording in the middle of a show,
but I haven't yet fixed all the places that assume every show is a
comlete recording. As it is, shows whose ends don't get recorded
don't even get saved.
