record (red button) dvb-t saves wrong program

When a DVB-T live stream is playing in VLC clicking the red record button save the wrong program, not the program that is currently tuned.
Example: When I play this stream
C:\____path____\vlc.exe dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000000 :dvb-bandwidth=-1 :program=3010 :no-video
and press record then VLC record the program 5840 instead.
Is there any way to force VLC to record the current program?

AFAIK, and for some strange reason, the record button records the whole TS stream.
The only way to record a specific program is to use the command line or the advanced parameters in the GUI.

Right, I have scripts set up to do scheduled recordings via command line. But for live, on the fly recording that button is the only real alternative.
What's the best way to file a bug report about this (if there isn't one already).
BTW, is there some simple way use VLC to post-process the TS into a file with only a specific program?

--no-input-record-native Or PReferences->All->input/codecs->Prefer...

Thanks, that did the trick! Clarification if someone else finds this thread through search:
Preferences->All->input/codecs->prefer native stream recording: Uncheck
After that only the currently playing DVB program gets recorded. When I then play a DVB radio channel like this
C:\__path__\vlc.exe dvb-t:// :dvb-frequency=522000000 :dvb-bandwidth=-1 :program=3010 :no-video
and uncheck the option above then VLC's red record button records straight to mp3. Great!

Hi all
Does not work for HD channels does it?
(No audio stream recorded only the video one)

Please... HD channels doesn't mean anything.
It should work with all things, what is the audio codec?

Oops sry, you are right I did not mention the audio codec.
It works nicely with H264 video and mpga audio.
The problem lies whith H264 video and eac3 audio.

Well, I guess that we can't mux correctly eac3 then when recording.

Well, I guess it will be fixed soon then ?

Well, we need to modify the ts muxer to understand eac3.

I ran an other test.
Using the GUI I selected the capture device and selected the same HD channel with eac3 and I launched the recording.
and surprise ... the ts file contains the eac3 stream !!
So it seems that works with the GUI but not with the command line ...
Could it be of any help for the debugging... ?
