The new autoexpire method doesn't work for the LiveTV recordings on my

Doesn't sound like you're running current SVN.
I was seeing this last night too, running r7972. I ended up with 20
or so live-tv recordings that were still there this morning. I exited
by hitting escape on livetv, escape on the main menu, then selected yes
to exit. I was going in and out a lot as I was trying to track down why
I couldn't seek forward / back.
Some did go away, because I was on a lot of channels I don't show
livetv recordings for. Maybe it only left the file from the channel I
exited from? I can't say with any certainty.
On the last program I was watching, I hit R to have myth record the
whole thing and then exited livetv. The recording stopped when I left
livetv, but it was moved to the default program group. That's something
else altogether though.
Long LiveTV recordings (ie, > 1 minute long) will expire the same as normal
programs but htey have their autoexpire field set to 10000 which causes
LiveTV recordings to expire before normal recordings.
So what defines their lifetime? Is the autoexpire of "long" livetv
files scheduled differently than short files? I'm just curious, I can
look it up in the source if you don't want to answer that.
