I suspect it is because old recordings were in the "recordings" directory, while new recordings were being placed in the "default" directory. When I first upgraded to 9.10 et.al., my back-end complained of a lack of somewhere to store its recordings. So I diligently filled in a "default" directory (..../default), also finding that it couldn't find my recordings I filled in the recordings directory (.../recordings). I see an upgrade has since replaced my "Recordings" with a second Default directory (location is the same).
I've also since moved any old recordings to the first default directory, and deleted any recordings that could expire (oh and doubled disk space making an expire un-likely). That got rid of the problem. -- 9.10/0.22 weighted time priority combination autoexpire deletes newest show https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu.

Similarly, during the recording of "Relocation, Relocation" I can see it deleting a show recorded earlier in the morning. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
