The DeleteRecording endpoint: https://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/tree/mythtv/programs/mythbackend/services/dvr.cpp#n315

may end up here: https://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/tree/mythtv/programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp#n1321

But there's another place in mainserver that handles the DELETE_RECORDING message. The other one's:
https://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/tree/mythtv/programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp#n635

Looks like mythprotocol to me.

Good news that it happens from the combined FE.

When I tried the test, the 1st use of Dvr/DeleteRecording always worked and
the next <n> always failed because the recording was successfully deleted.
