[mythtv-users] increased recording priority for "new" episodes?

[Adam Berson]

I'm wondering if there is a way to assign higher recording priority to 
"new" episodes.  I can't find anything.

What I'm basically trying to replicate here is similar to 
3-thumbs-upping something on tivo, but also having a season pass 
(forgive the tivo references - I'm a recent convert)

For example, let's say I'd like to always have a few episodes of South 
Park to watch if nothing else is on - but it's not crucial if they 
record.  On the otherhand, I'd like to make SURE I record the NEW South 
Park episodes - maybe even not let them expire.  I can't seem to make 2 
separate recording schedules, unless one of them is a manual recording.




[What follows is some thoughts as to how this could be done if it's not 
already, not sure if it's OT for this list or not]

I was thinking of different ways to resolve this...
  a) allow multiple recording schedules of the same show (so I can 
assign lower priority to the reruns)
  b) add a specific priority adjustment under the general priority 
settings for "new" airings of shows


One advantage to option A is that I could also assign a different 
recording profile to the non-crucial recordings, since I care less about 
them.  Going right along with that, if I could assign different 
priorities to different recording profiles, it would even be automatic.

Following this one step further, what about deletion priority?  Right 
now the only option I see for "autoexpire method" is "oldest first" - 
but I'd much rather delete those old low-priority recordings of South 
Park before I delete something with a high priority - is priority-based 
autoexpire in the works?
