Mike,<br><br>Is there a notification icon that lets you know if a recorded show has been preserved or not? I checked both mythweb, and mythfrontend, but didn't see anything.<br><br>Also, is it common for the max number of recorded shows to differ between mythweb and mythfrontend? Yesterday, I changed the max recordings from 20 to 17. Mythweb shows the new max shows, but when I went into the frontend, it still showed 20. Plus, the backend failed to remove the oldest, so now I have 18 recordings on my box.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
One more follow up question. Now that I have Record new and expire old<br>
enabled and working, is there any way to exempt certain shows from<br>
auto-expiring?<br>

I think you can set an episode to not expire in mythweb and probably<br>
in the watch recordings screen (at a guess the menu key...)<br>

You need to "preserve" the episode (available in Watch Recordings under the menu in Storage Options). The "Do not allow this episode to autoexpire" has no effect on the rule in question. Note that in the mythfrontend schedule editor the option is called, "Delete oldest if this would exceed the max episodes," and doesn't say anything about expiring.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the MythWeb wording, "Record new and expire old" is misleading since it's not, actually, expired, because auto-expire happens only when file systems are full).<br>
<br>
We should change this to "Record new and delete old"...<br>
