[mythtv] MYthTV recording deleted automaticly - even when set not to

[Marcel Meier]

I think we don't need a new "never delete" option. Or can anyone explain to me 
the benefit of having an option to "Do not auto-expire" when this showing for 
some other reason still will be deleted.
From my point of view when I want a recording not to "auto expire" then I want 
to keep it until I decide to delete it.

Did I miss the point? Is there a reason for this feature to behave like this?

Thanks for your feedback

PS: If someone could tell me where to look I'll try to code it myselfe. At the 
moment my knowledge of the Mythcode and where what is stored is minimal, but 
it will improve over time - sure  -  ;-)

Regards Marcel
