That's my recollection too, Hika--I've never seen the "Forget Old" working.
@Mike, I think the UTC stuff got all updated in Mythweb. I haven't seen any
other UTC related issues, and it's just pulling from the database (which is
UTC) as far as I can see, so theoretically telling it to forget an old
recording should just be regurgitating what it pulled from the database,
but possibly it's doing it with some wrong/corrupted/mis-formatted
information. Is there some detailed backend logging for this which could
tell us why it's failing to forget the recording?  Presumably it's
something in the identifying information passed as an argument to
FORGET_RECORDING that's not matching.

Thanks,

Karl
