#3196: Autoexpire and backend fail to heed maxnewest = 0, deletes old programs
that shouldn't and records new ones

 Reporter:  anonymous  |       Owner:  ijr    
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  minor      |   Milestone:  unknown
Component:  mythtv     |     Version:  0.20   
 Severity:  medium     |  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 I've setup a custom rule to record all programs with a genre of
 "Documentary" with a limit of 30 episodes kept, no autoexpire on either
 the recording rule or the show records themselves, and with "Don't record
 if this would exceed the maximum episodes" set.

 I've confirmed that the DB has ALL rules set as record.autoexpire = 0, and
 ALL programs have recorded.autoexpire = 0.  In addition, the recording
 rule the shows are still (wrongly) being expired and recording other newer
 ones has record.maxepisodes = 30 and record.maxnewest = 0.

 With the above settings, I still get log messages like: "Expiring "Dead
 Men's Secrets" from Thu Mar 8 10:00:00 2007, 477 MBytes, too many episodes
 (only want 30)." and the backend is continuing to schedule and record new
 programs for this rule even though it has obviously reached the limit of
 30 shows.

 Happy to provide any additional info that may be useful.
