Hi Mike,
thanks for your replay, after finding the Discussion from last august I knew that
the counter for this feature is the "maxnewest" field - found in programinfo.cpp - with a
little help from -- bjm I managed to add this also to the "don't recorded if this would
exceed the max episodes" so I'm testing this right now.
As I understand Chris, the author of this part of Myth mentioned in his posting, he'll add
something like a "undeletable" flag to this to cope with this problems. How and when
it will be included in CVS I don't know but in the meantime I have something to ship around
this cliff.
But in the end the best thing is, I learned a littel bit more about SQL, the Mythdatabase, and so forth.
Until next time
Marcel
