more on my "mythbackend only records first scheduled show"...
Hi all,

follow-up to my previous email...

I'm guessing my "record one show, but not any after" stems from this message I'm
seeing in the log file:

full is at bottom, here is the suspected culprit:
2003-06-14 01:00:02 backend still changing state, waiting..

but I never saw the corresponding "changing state finished, starting now"
message from tv_rec.cpp.(near lines 148-151) ... err.. never saw the
corresponding message within a few minutes. (myth was supposed to record
ComicView from 00:00 to 01:00, followed by X-Files from 01:00 to 02:00, and I've
not got any trailing time on the recordings)

is this the point where I send a stack trace to show why some thread may not
have finished the changeState-related operation?

Yup, that's what you'll need to do.
