More like maxsameepisodes=1 since maxepisodes just looks at
the title. After responding to David, I thought of a better
example that I think is more real-world.
Let's say that I want to record The Simpsons. I really like
them so I always want to have 5 episodes on hand to watch
while eating my 7-course dinner. (ok, not totally real-world) :)
If I don't care about watching the same episodes over again,
I don't want Myth to check for duplicates in oldrecorded. I
do however want to make sure that the 5 episodes I do have are
unique, so that I don't have to watch the same episode 5 times
just to get to dessert.
That's probably the best real-world example I could come up
with for why I'd want to check for dups in the recorded table.
I still don't use it though, so if it makes sense to get rid
of it then I'm for it.
