I notices this one last night. If I am watching a show that is being recorded, and I watch the show to the end, it properly gets the WATCHED attribute set. If I then go and try to delete the file, SageTV won't let me. I have to go a start playing the file before it will let it be deleted. It seems as if there are two WATCHED flags, one for the OSD and one that says "Really, this file HAS been watched."

On a related topic, if you are watching a show that is being recorded and discover that you have seen it before (because XMTV didn't know it was a rerun) then there is no way to cancel the recording. It is rather frustrating to have all your tuners stuck recording shows that you have already seen and don't want recorded.

Thanks,

p.s., This happened last night. I have two tuners, one was recording a new show and one was recording a rerun. If I only had one tuner then I would have shut down SageTV to clear the recording(?), but I didn't want to mess up the second show.

I'd need to see a log file to know more about the delete problem you mention.

The other one has been fixed for 1.4.7 (due out Monday, seems bug-free so far). If you mark something watched that it's currently recording (and you're not watching it), then it'll stop recording it after the Profiler has re-evaluated the system (takes seconds to minutes depending upon how long you've been using Sage). That always bugged me too. :)
