Bug #5406
Autorec cleanup code is deleting log entries for completed recordings
100%
Description
Having updated TVHeadend from 4.3.1608 it seems that many of my recordings have vanished. The log at startup shows:

Dec 7 15:45:18 gomorrah tvheadend[327]: dvr: Purged 40 autorec entries that no longer match schedule
All of the recordings were made using 'Series Link' (CRID-based) timers.
Fortunately the actual .ts files have not been deleted so I should be able to restore the log entries from backup

I think the purpose of the commit was to delete obsolete scheduled recordings from autorecs, but apparently it's removing also the finished & failed recordings...
