Increase "Keep at Most" Number

[ejk]

First of all, I want to say I *love* GB-PVR. I use it everyday, and it has quickly become a life-saver when it comes to video time for the kids.

One of the great features that was added a couple of releases back was the "Keep at Most" number when creating a new recording. This is great for ESPN Sportscenter, which I have scheduled to record at 2:00 am and keep at most 2. So I always have the latest broadcast if I get a free minute, but I don't have to keep deleting old recordings.

Well, I have a number of kids shows that are starting to fill up my 200 GB media drive. I have 20+ episodes of Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine, Dora the Explorer, etc. Some of these sets of recordings probably even have duplicates in them, but because of gaps/deficiencies in the guide information, it's hard to identify them. The kids don't really have a favorite episode, they just like the variety of options.

Which (finally) brings me to my request: currently you can only "Keep at Most" up to 5 recordings. I would like to Keep around 20 or so and not have to worry about disk space so much anymore. Would it be possible to change that variable so it would hold any number you want?

OK. This'll be in the next release.

Until the next release comes out, you could use the MaxRecordings utility. Takes but a couple of minutes to configure. I've been using it for ~4 months now without any issues.
