[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1263072, member: 141969"] If you record a subset of a series by scheduling the required episodes one by one, they are not treated by MP as being part of a series. However, the "grouping" feature of the "Recorded TV" panel will still group these recordings together, because they all have the same title. So superficially they do indeed look like a series. I am actually surprised that MP apparently deletes the oldest episodes of this non-series collection of recordings (I have never before heard of that happening when the disk is not full). One workaround might be to define a series recording schedule using the "record every time on this channel" setting, and then every few days review the recording schedule and cancel the particular episodes that you don't want. This will then be a "proper" series, and MP won't delete the excess episodes. Another possibility might be to [B]enable[/B] the disk quota in "TV Server Config", and change the [B]deletion threshhold[/B] to a [B]very low value[/B]. I don't have disk quota enabled, but my recording drive shows 715GB size, with 97GB free. But the deletion threshhold is 500MB (i.e. 0.5GB) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
