It doesn’t come up a lot but when i start watching a show mid-season say, I like to record all the episodes (new and repeat), watch them once and automatically delete them after a day. When Plex records a repeat a second time it quickly deletes it because it knows it has already been watched. What i was wondering is if we could avoid recording shows a second time… and option like: Record repeats once. Or Record repeats once a year.

My $.02, thanks for listening!
