I decided to instead modify the script for the day of the changeover such that
it starts a single recording at 23:59 the day before and runs this for 4 hours.
This will make it encompass the whole changeoved hour inside and it probably
just works then since the recording is set as a duration and not as a time to
stop.

Then tomorrow morning I have just to split the 4 hour recording into 1 hour
segments as a one-off operation.
