Is it possible to change this to keep only ___ watched OR unwatched shows? For example, every night we record Jeopardy (dear god I’m getting old). However, if I miss a night I really don’t care. So I only want to keep 1 episode (rather than based on # of unwatched episodes). Is it possible to change the record options to cover both?
If you edit the show in the library there is a setting for Keep “Episodes from the past 3 days.” I have not tested this setting personally and based on how other users have encountered issues with episodes being deleted with the “Episodes from the past 30 days” setting I would say that Plex will only keep the last 3 days of “New” episodes, in other words the Original Air Date is in the last 3 days. So if a rerun is airing that is from more than 3 days ago it would be deleted immediately after recording by the Garbage Collection process.
