PostDelete.bat?

[smajor]

Would it be possible to add this so we can run some actions when an item is deleted from recordings?

[sub]

What parameters would it pass to this batch file? ie, post delete there would be no file on disk, or no entry for the recording in the database.

I'd presume he'd want the filename and recording OID, same as the other recording-related batch files. The file itself and the OID may no longer exist, but he may have used them for other purposes in one of the ___processing.bat files and now wants to do some other housekeeping based on that data.

That would be nice, if possible, but for my needs, just the act of triggering the file would be enough. For me: XBMC is my front end and my NPVR recording directory is also a path in my TV Shows XMBC library.

If a show is deleted, the main purpose of the bat file would be to tell XBMC to re-scan the library and update its database so the show is properly removed.

I already call the same re-scan with postprocessing to scan and "add" a completed recording to XBMC.

For me what I'd like to see is the unique_id from event_detail (or 0) and the status. If I delete a failed recording, I already have a utility that records by unique_id that don't exist and I'd be able to use the failure code to potentially schedule a recording later in the day on the western feed.
