Recorded files missing
I was going to catch up today on several episodes of two tv series I always record. all the files for both series ( about 4 of each ) were missing.
Does sagetv delete files from the library after a set period of time? Thanks, Kirk

On the other hand, what I've said about deleting files to make room for new recordings may have nothing to do with your situation, but it was a good place to start. Are you sure the recordings existed in the first place? - Andy

yes, i am sure that the files existed, there were four episodes of each show recorded.
I re-read manual pages 189-190 regearding file management by sagetv. i did go in and set shows i want to be sure and keep to 'auto delet - no'. I don't have norton, or any other software installed to manage the recyle bin. the computer that i am running sage tv on has a minimal amount of software ( winxp pro, sage tv, and streamzap remote software ) installed on it. it is used only for sagetv.

I can't think of too much else. Older versions used to delete shows when they no longer qualified as favs -- after you changed the fav's settings, for example. If the files are no longer on the hard drive, I can't think of anything at the moment. (Anyone else?) If the files are still on the drive, double check the Options menu in the SageTV Recordings screen to be sure they aren't just filtered out.

I've had this happen to me with timed recordings (not reoccuring but single timed recordings). From my understanding these should never be automatically deleted but its happened twice. The thing I noticed both times was that I was low on HD space. So I did a workaround to never have this happen again but its kind of extreme. Maybe you could use it for the short term till you track down the problem. Whenver I schedule a single timed recording, I deny my login user account (not administrator) delete privilages to that directory (of course change was enabled). Obviously this means that Sage cannot delete anything so, after I am ready to delete the timed recording, I return full access priviledges to that account. This works for me because I rarely schedule non-reoccuring timed recordings. For you its only a small band-aid till the real culprit can be found.
