Hi,

I found bug in free space management. When free space is lower than quota, than disk management have to free some space. But as I found, it deletes recording from older to newer (correct) but doesn't take into account if recording was seen or not. I was very surprised that my unsees recordings were deleted and seen but newer recordings not. Accidentally I don't have logs.

Hi georgius

I think that the desired behaviour might be as you have suggested in many cases, however I also think that there is probably a time when people would be happy to delete even recordings that have not been watched. Maybe they saw the repeat viewing or the next episode and they have no desire to go back and watch a past episode. Perhaps the default behaviour should be as you have suggested and a "delete unwatched recordings to free space" option could be added.

I should first read wiki about that. It's working as designed, but I probably make experimental branch, where can be this behavior more configurable.
