Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket.  Is
there any way that you can test a newer revision by choosing 0.23 after
activating the autobuilds (per http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds)?
We need to verify the problem still exists there before moving further.

Please be sure to back up your database before doing this though,
because you can't downgrade back to your current version unless you drop
the database and restore a backup.

Timeshifted playback is broken

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

Mythtv does not update the length of a recording when it is playing that recording. This causes problems when watching a recording that is still being recorded, eg. timeshifted TV viewing.

If the recording was fx. 10 minutes long when playback started, mythtv-frontend will stop playback after having played these 10 minutes, and report that the recording was interrupted, and ask user to delete or keep it. It is a false error message as in fact the recording has continued without problem on the backend and is now 20 minutes long.

Timeshifted playback is effectively broken since it is constantly interrupted by this false error.

Using mythtv-backend on a remote machine running Mythbuntu-10.04.

This is a regression, worked fine in 9.04's mythtv frontend.
