I would like to record and keep 20 episodes of Sesame Street on my mythbox at all times. As new episodes are recorded, old episodes can be deleted.<br>
<br>
I tried to set this up in the Recording Schedule by enabling auto-expire, and setting "No. of recordings to keep" to 20. However, based on the documentation, auto-expire works primarily on disk space usage. Plus, once 20 episodes of the show have been recorded, mythtv won't record anymore until I manually delete the old episodes.<br>
<br>
Am I missing something? Is it possible to implement this setup?<br>

It has nothing to do with available disk space.<br>
In the recording rule below where you set the number of recordings to keep there is the option "Don't record if this would exceed ..." or "Delete Oldest recording".<br>
Set the number to keep at 20 and "Delete oldest" and it will maintain 20 episodes for you.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
