Keep All Recordings - Only keeping most recent episode?

[Boromir]

I am a new GBPVR user and so far so good, except for one thing. When I schedule a 'Record Season' and set Keep to 'All Recordings' it records each episode as expected, but only the most recently recorded episode is retained for each program. Am I wrong in expecting the system not to delete the old episodes?

Thanks!

It should not delete old recordings in this case.

I actually have a similar issue that I've been trying to figure out. When I record a show it shows up fine in the recordings section (in the GB-PVR display) but it only shows me the most recent recording. The other recordings are still there, just not listed in the recordings area on the menu.

I'm pretty sure there was only one file left in the directory, but I will double check after the next scheduled recording. I reset one schedule to keep last 5 as a test and it now shows 2 entries after recording an episode last night, so that seems to be working correctly so far.

Ok, here are some interesting results:
- I switched one program to 'Keep: Last 5' and all the secheduled recordings (Including Keep: All Recordings) stopped deleting the old episodes. Good stuff.
- I switched them all back to 'Keep: All Recordings' and the next scheduled recording did not delete the old episodes. Seems to be fixed.
- I restarted the PC and the next scheduled recording deleted all the previous episodes again.

I will switch one back to 'Keep: Last 5' and see what happens.

I have to concur. I'm a brand new GB-PVR user (last couple of days) and I'm seeing this behaviour. "Keep All Recordings" is behaving just like "Keep 1 Recording".

I'll switch all my stuff over to keep 5 recordings for the time being.

Yes, its a bug. Because of this thread I've spent some time testing the issue today. I've corrected it for the next release.

Season recordings which you'd scheduled before the upgrade to the current release will continue to recording all episodes, so its only affect new season recordings that have been setup since you installed the v0.92 release.

Looking forward to the 0.93 release, as I started with 0.92 and as you might guess, this is a bit annoying. Until then I'll set everything to 5 recordings and be vigilant.

Might there be a possibility for recording all instances of a show, in all time zones, in *all* channels? (Now that things are mostly stable after a couple days of tinkering, I should really haul my ass over to the feature request forums)
