I have Channels set to record Jeopardy everyday, but save only 3 episodes. Today while we were watching the oldest episode, the current episode finished recording and when we tried to skip a commercial and finishing playing the oldest episode, it disappeared and we were unable to complete watching it.
As you can see from the log, the old file (1/31 episode) got pruned at 7:49 pm which was before we finished watching the end of it. This is a very interesting problem. Please let me know if you have any questions about it.
Thanks!
