Just a follow-on note. I've discovered that MythTV has some bugs about
handling the autoexpire number as a non-boolean. Some parts of the program
treat it as an integer, some as a boolean. I'm working on a patch to fix
this up (integer throughout except in the UI). Until such time as that
patch is deployed, I put a special hack into tvwish that it scans for
any suggestions in your recordings which don't have a high autoexpire and
sets it high (unless it's zero, then it stays zero). This will work
fine as long as you are not running super-tight on space.
However, most people should be able to use the program, as modified, just
fine, but should re-download.
