However, based on the documentation, auto-expire works primarily on disk space usage. Plus, once 20 episodes of the show have been recorded, mythtv won't record anymore until I manually delete the old episodes.<br>

<p>You need to check "record new and expire old" in mythweb, or set "max newest" in the frontend menu to "delete oldest if this would exceed the max episodes" </p>
