Description
The scheduler is unaware of a tuner in use for live TV and will change the state of the recorder if a new recording is assigned to the same card as a current live session.
To reproduce,
- Enter live TV while there are no recordings in progress.
- Press "Y" if necrssary to change to the card of the first input fror the primary source.
- Press "R" to record.
- Start or go to another mythfrontend or mythweb session.
- Go to the EPG and single record any other show in progress from the primary source.
At this point, the card/input have not been reserved yet by the scheduler. The scheduler starts the new recording on the first available input which is the card in use for the live session(!). The live playback session changes channels to the station of the newly requested show. The file requested with TOGGLERECORD is stopped and a new file is started for the show requested from the EPG.
The point of this test was to demonstrate that TOGGLERECORD needs to inform the scheduler of the recording in progress as soon as the request is made. However, it turns out that scheduling a show in progress while there is a live session will change the channel on the live playback regardless of whether "R" was pressed or not.
(In [8621]) Fixes #1014.
I'm looking at informing the scheduler about LiveTV recordings early so that recordings are overridden by the scheduler, but this change is needed to make sure the scheduler can't preempt LiveTV when an in progress recording is scheduled on another frontend.
