By default leanfront Recently Viewed is only showing you programs where 
watching is in progress. There are other options.

In leanfront settings, Program List Options:

Enable "Include Watched Shows in Recent List"

Enable "Include Deleted Recordings in Recent List". if you also want to 
see the deleted ones. This requires you to have a deletion delay set in 
mythfrontend, because it only displays ones that are not yet physically 
deleted.

Enable "Trim Recently Viewed List" to only show one watched episode of a 
series.

Then, when you select a watched or deleted show from the list, to find 
the next episode to watch, on the episode details screen press down 
arrow to see other episodes (Related Videos List).

To only see the ones you have not already watched, disable "Include 
Deleted shows in Related Video List" and "Include watched shows in 
related videos list".
