[mythtv-users] Show matching two searches not recorded

[Nathan Wray]

I missed two Cosmos being recorded before I noticed they weren't
recording.  I could have forced any particular episode being recorded, but
the overall issue would have remained, and I wonder if any of my other
low-priority searches are going to quash something I wanted to see
recorded.

Attached are two printsched files, one with the documentary search active
and the other inactive.  In this case it looks like it will record Cosmos
but you can see it has the -10 priority when the documentary search is
active, and 99 otherwise.

$ cat printsched-doc-active.txt | grep Cosmos
2014-05-06 09:43:08.009783 I  Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - The  1008_202
FOXHD   11 21:00-22:00  3  0  0  A  C -10
2014-05-06 09:43:08.042859 I  Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - The  1008_202
FOXHD   18 21:00-22:00  3  0  0  A  C -10

$ cat printsched-doc-inactive.txt | grep Cosmos
2014-05-06 09:40:16.862537 I  Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - The  1008_202
FOXHD   11 21:00-22:00  3  6 10  A  6 99
2014-05-06 09:40:16.878920 I  Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - The  1008_202
FOXHD   18 21:00-22:00  3  6 10  A  6 99

Can you or anyone point me to the scheduler SQL that would apply here?
Apologies, I've never worked in the Myth code tree.
