I have recordings set up to keep 3 latest, 5 latest, the last 5 days, etc. and I noticed, when looking at changing the recording I noticed that, in this case, I had already told it to keep the last 3 recordings, that would be the ‘PlexReocrdOption.jpeg’ attachment in this posting. However, you can see from PlexKeepAtMost.jpeg that it has kept 8 recordings.

Looking at 'PlexRecordOption.jpeg, it looks like the config setting for Keep & Delete Episodes After Playing might be at odds because we don’t watch the recordings every night nor do we fully watch them, so they maybe never be marked as played.


I’ve noticed the same problem. I have The Late Show setup to keep just the Latest Episode and delete episodes after playing On Next Refresh.

I routinely have more than one episode listed whether I watch them or not. And when is “next refresh”?
