On further testing the delete function is working, the problem was on update of the autorec timer the existing recordings are not counted towards the total.

ie
- create autorec and let it record 5 shows
- update autorec and set max count to 5
- record another show and expecting oldest to be deleted but does not because the count is now only 1, the first 5 recorded shows are not counted in the total due to the autorec timer update.

when the autorec timer is updated is it possible to update existing recordings so they are counted?

Only entries added by autorec are managed by autorec rules. Other entries are standalone. I don't think it's a bug.

Sorry will explain again with more details.

I set up an autorec and let it record 2 shows, I then go and update the autorec and change the max count from 0 to 2. It then records another show for a total of 3, I expect the oldest to be deleted but it does not.

If I check the contents of the log files for each of the 3 only the last has a value set for the autorec entry.

Looking in the code when an autorec entry is updated and saved in dvr_autorec_entry_class_save, dvr_autorec_changed(dae, 1); is called which does a purge on the existing recordings which is why old entries are missing the autorec entry.

I can submit a pull request is change to dvr_autorec_changed(dae, 0); but not sure if that's the correct way to fix.

I see now. Fixed in v4.1-1257-g6975129 .
