Is there any workarounds/hacks that allow MythTV to be a bit more
multiuser friendly for my situation?  Auto-expire will not really
work.  I was hoping for each user to have their own Watch Recordings
list and ideally not require duplicate recordings on disk? e.g. the
backend keeps track of number copy and only deletes the file when the
counter drops to 0?

TIA
