Okay, I'm not at home so I can't check this, but I *thought* an option went in recently to "Preserve this episode" under Watch Recordings->MENU. IIRC, 'Do not auto-expire' does not affect shows that would be deleted due to a max episode limit. ... Ok, just looked in the source code... from the source: "A preserved episode is ignored in calculations for deleting episodes above the limit. Auto-expiration is used to remove eligable programs when disk space is low." The "Preserve this episode" button only shows up if the recording rule used for the show had a max episode setting. That feature went in on 24 Dec 2004, and was included in the 0.17 release. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
