There is a thread on the MythTV Devlopment list regarding this - there are
a lot of reports of it. Unfortunately, the development list does not seem
to be archived on the internet. It does not appear to be tuner related,
but it is a verified issue from multiple people.

Hi Scott,

This appear to be related to my recent set of commits to use the
std::chrono data type, but I am unable to replicate the problem on my
system. There is another email thread going on the mythtv-dev mailing
list about this problem.

Can you tell me what version of Ubuntu you are using and what version
of Qt its running? I have a HDHR3-CC like you, along with a couple of
other HDHR boxes for testing.

Is it all recordings that run too long, or just specific recordings?

Thanks.

David

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa)

Most of my QT libraries show version 5.12.8+dfsg-0ubuntu1. MOST of them
record too long. I don't think it is all of them. I can't make rhyme or
reason on which ones record too long but recording The Late Late Show, The
Tonight Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live are all an hour and always record 6
hours every night.

If there is any debugging I can turn on in the mythbackend.log file let me
know.

The official archive is here:

http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2021-February/subject.html

There's also a searchable archive (probably not needed for this problem) at:

https://lists.archive.carbon60.com/mythtv/dev/

and the reports on the dev list are all from very recent commits; your
report of 'a month ago' puts it in a new light.

It is *at least* the last couple of weeks. Don't quote me on a month. But it IS NOT from the last few days.

LOL. I also record the first two, but record Corden instead of Kimmel.

So two of those three recordings cross midnight, and the third doesn't.
Are the recordings always 6 hours instead of one? Are your recordings
set to start early/run late, or do they start/end on time? I.E. are the
recordings supposed to record for 60 minutes, or for 2+60+2 like mine.
If you have pre/post overrun, is that reflected in the overlong
recordings? I.E. is the actual recording 6*60=360, or 2+(6*60)+2=364,
or 6*(2+60+2)=384. Just trying to find a pattern.

Not sure yet. Will let you know.

Can you try running 'mythbackend --printsched' on you backend system
and post the output. You don't have to stop the running backend. This
will run a second copy that dumps the scheduling info and then quits.
That might help figure out if the problem is in the scheduling of
recordings, or the act of recording. Feel free to mail directly to me
(mythtv @ love2code.net) if you don't want to post.

Thanks.
