#7434 closed Bug Report - General (Trac EOL)

max episodes code doesn't respect autoexpire flag on a recording

Description

I've a recording rule setup as follows.

  • Max episodes = 20
  • Record new / delete old
  • Allow autoexpire

I decided i wanted to keep 1 of the 20 recordings and set autoexpire=off on that recording.

However when it recorded a new episode, that episode was removed because it was the oldest, in direct violation of autoexpire=off.

With reservation, I'm closing this as a feature request without a patch. This code has been this way for going on 6 years. The original author and the ticket reporter may reopen this and make changes later if they desire.

I'll take this back then. I feel it's quite a significant bug when an episode marked to not autoexpire is autoexpired.

We need to simplify the behaviour here to match expectations, having two separate flags (preserve and autoexpire) is just too confusing. I appreciate the attempt to satisfy everyone, but I really do agree with Stuart that maybe it's better if disabling auto-expire acts the same way as preserve and preserve was eliminated.

If we do that then it would probably help to rename it from 'Disable Auto-expire' to 'Block Deletion' or similar and make it a catch-all state that doesn't allow any code to delete that recording without the 'block' being removed. That's simple enough for everyone to understand.
