[mythtv-users] Previously Recorded, Watched and actively Deleted programs are being rerecorded

Programs that have been previously recorded, completely watched and 
actively deleted without allowing re-record are being rerecorded by the 
scheduler. This is with "Schedules Direct" and SVN 15072.

The only way to stop this (through the standard interface) appears to be 
to find the repeat upcoming episode in "Upcoming Recordings" and select 
"Never Record" otherwise the scheduler will repeatedly rerecord that 
episode  (if the episode is NOT in current recordings) completely 
ignoring the "previous recordings" portion of "Look for Duplicates in 
current and previous recordings" specified in the "Scheduling Options" 
of the recording rule.

Anyone else seeing this? Is there some option to twiddle that will stop it.

I have turned on "Auto Expire instead of Delete Recording" which moves 
recordings to a "Deleted" group and autoexpires them later. Given that 
autoexpired programs are automatically treated as allowed to be 
rerecorded this *might* be the issue. If so, it is a bug. Programs in 
the "Deleted" group that are autoexpired should be marked as previously 
recorded, viewed and actively deleted rather than simply autoexpired.

Thx,
