Can we tell NextPVR to rebuild the recording list?

I don't see any errors, what do you have for these in your config.xml

<AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>true</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>
<CheckForRenamedRecordings>true</CheckForRenamedRecordings>
<NoRemoveWhenTreeMissing>true</NoRemoveWhenTreeMissing>

If you have these defaults I will speculate it is how sub is defining "tree"

I'll take a look at these settings later today. What i noticed is that i have a lot of artwork left, showing on the Recordings page in the web UI, of recordings that are no longer in the recordings location. I can click on a recording that i know is no longer there, the web UI shows a message that the recording can't be found, so at least that part works.

ETA: config.xml in /var/opt/nextpvr shows indeed these three config settings. I guess 'NoRemoveWhenTreeMissing' set to false is worth a try? I'll wait until my scheduled recordings are done, move some stuff over to a different drive, and then try this setting / restart nextpvr.

Additional question, which may or may not have something to do with this: <Recording><ServerName> contains an ip address not in use on my network. Should that be the case? Should that IP address be the same as the pi it's running on?

When NextPVR deletes shows it doesn't delete artwork. I did add a cleanup function to a utility I provide called NextTool. I think if you change the NoRemoveWhenTreeMissing to false it will delete your files but you have to make sure all your other recordings are online. Maybe backup npvr.db3 first.

I have a utility that scans and library files and imports them as NextPVR recordings.  It won't help with files you actually remove via the operating system though.

Martin, could I get a copy of that utility please?

Thanks,
