I have modified VDR 0.72 to never delete recordings with priority 99 and
a name starting with '%'. Look at recording.c

        if (Recordings.Load(false)) {
           cRecording *r = Recordings.First();
           cRecording *r0 = NULL;
           while (r) {
+                if ((time(NULL) - r->start) / SECSINDAY > r->lifetime
+                        && r->priority < 99 && (r->name)[0] != '%') {
                    if (r0) {
                       if (r->priority < r0->priority)
                          r0 = r;
                       }
                    else
                       r0 = r;
                    }
                 r = Recordings.Next(r);
                 }
           if (r0 && r0->Delete())
           }  return;

Just add the priority comparison. For the comparison against the name
you have to change recording.h to put "name" into the public section.
