Yep. Myth will automatically delete and allow re-record any non-LiveTV
recordings it autoexpires (so LiveTV won't erase recording history if
you watch/flip past some show you've previously recorded). However, if
you're using SVN trunk and have Myth set to automatically set the
Watched flag or you set it manually, you can affect the decision with:
Re-record watched programs
If set, programs that have been marked as watched and are auto-expired
will be re-recorded if they are shown again.
This will allow you to use autoexpire for everything (i.e. never delete
anything) and still benefit from duplicate matching.
