Expiry of bookmarked shows?

Hi,
Is it possible to stop the expiry of programmes which have been
bookmarked? (position marked)
Or at least put them to the back of the expiry list?

Last night, as an example, I recorded Torchwood, 9pm til 10pm. I
started watching it about 10:30pm and maybe watched 30 mins or so.
I marked my current position to come back to it today.

This morning it has gone! I've seen this before. It seems to happen
when my disks are full, it's my fault really I should have set it to
not
auto-expire.

However, would it not be a good idea to put shows which have been
bookmarked to the back of the expire queue? The fact they have been
bookmarked kind
of implies you are coming back to watch the rest of it?

Anyway, there may be an option to do this, if so I have missed it sorry.

Thanks
Mike

Your suggestion of moving bookmarked suggestions to the back of the
auto-expire queue is a reasonable idea for a new feature, but I don't
think it would solve your problem.

If you were watching something that had just been recorded then I
would expect it to be near the back of the auto-expire list anyway on
the basis of its age.

You need to examine your storage and autoexpire settings to see why
it's not, or maybe you have very few auto-expirable programmes. If it
still looks wierd then post back with your settings.

Do you have multiple disks, backends, storage groups etc? That can
complicate things somewhat.

Every show I have watched has a bookmark at the end. I record 1 min
past the end of the scheduled time so when I get to the end of a show,
I exit the recording and it leaves a bookmark there. So basically if
this was "fixed", all the programs I haven't watched (no bookmark)
would expire before programs I have watched (bookmark at the end).

Secondly, there is the option to expire Watched Programs before other
programs. If you turn this on, I believe you will get exactly the
functionality you're looking for instead of doing it in a round-about
way relying on bookmarks, no?

Make sure you also enable "Automatically mark a recording as watched".
And, note that it only works if you disable the end of recording prompts
(see http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5910 for details and patches).
