I am the server admin, and these shows are being deleted before I watch them. The tag in the logs says I watched them back in February so plex is deleting them as soon as they are processed.
Aug 12, 2022 10:02:20.627 [0x7f2506b79b38] DEBUG - [Grabber/53f17ac781fe0ebe7ad49d73b6d5c38362e223c6] Garbage Collector: Deleting episode 80 - Miller vs. Brewer (watched: 2022-02-21 22:34:56)
IE Aug 12, 2022 10:02:20.627 was when it was recorded and processed to be added to the library.
Yet it was deleted because I had watched it (watched: 2022-02-21 22:34:56).
I would have thought the logic of having the Recording settings of settings of “Airings” -“New and Repeat Airings” and then under advanced I have “Keep”- “All Episodes” then under “Delete Episodes After Playing”- “After a Day” would mean the new recording would be kept for one day after that date time recording instance. I realize I had watched it in Feb, but I like to have a selection of episodes to watch and they change. Just because I had seen it in the past doesn’t mean I don’t like to have it for background noise.
I realize this would be a nice feature for plex to have such a long memory for others who remember what they had watched, but for me I don’t mind I had seen it in the past. I wouldn’t have selected “New and Repeat Airings” for recordings If I didn’t want episodes I had seen in the past. I guess that was what confused me.
I liked the auto delete feature, but if that’s what triggering the immediate deletion as soon as the recording is finished I will have to manually delete the episodes I guess.
This is fine, I was just at a loss because the logic seems weird in my head and not only to me.
