Thanks, Mike.
However, I have just the opposite problem. I manually delete all my
shows, that's how I notice that duplicates are getting rerecorded. It
seems like all new recordings are getting entered with duplicate=0. I
looked for the Rerecord watched programs, and couldn't find any
setting in the frontend. Although I'm not sure weather the Gentoo
maintainers are using .20-fixes or trunk. Like I said, though, It's
manually deleted recordings that are the problem. I'm not so sure
about autoexpire, as I rarely let shows autoexpire, and if they do I
would actually _like_ them to be rerecorded.
