So that leads be to the conclusion, that

a) it's not possible in a simple way to prevent a recording which is recorded 
with the option "Keep X episodes" from being deleted

or
b) we or I and some others would like that the option "Do not auto-expire" 
prevent a recording from being deleted even if its recorded with the "Keep X 
episodes" and is also not counted as on of this X episodes 

or
c) we or I and some others would need a additional option when the recoding is 
one of the sort "Keep X episodes" to remove this out of this group that it 
could be set to "Do not auto-expire"

or
d) we or I and some others would need a additional option "never delete" when 
the recoding is one of the sort "Keep X episodes" to prevent it from being 
automatically deleted by one of this routine (Keep X episodes / disk space 
low)

My vote would be for option (b) which I think would also only need a minor 
change in the Code, I think, but I had no time to look for the place to check 
it, so I might be wrong on this.
I would like to hear your opinion too.


Thanks Marcel
