Because I don't have a "D" key mapped on my remote, and there's no
keyboard attached :)

And I disabled all the Exit prompts back before you fixed the
"automatically mark as watched" bug ... I know, it only affected the
prompt at the end of playback, but I turned them all off for
consistency and I got used to it so I haven't turned it back on :)

It's possible... I try to pay attention after it happened the first
time, but then it happened again on Sunday evening and I'm almost
positive it had the right thing highlighted (note I said "almost"
positive ;-) )

I thought about doing that.... when does it actually go to delete the
recordings? I know this question keeps coming up.. but I have all
auto-expiry disabled because I am manually (well, via script)
relocating recordings so Myth can't figure out on its own when the
disks are full...

I record everything to an internal drive, and then afterward I move
the file out to a USB drive (via user job). So when a recording starts
I don't think Myth can figure out whether there will be enough room on
the external drive because the recording is being made to the internal
drive so I think it only looks there.
