recorded show directory issue?

[eastavin]

Hello.  Have a question.  It came up as a result of recordings being intentionally deleted using Windows 10 delete command.  The recordings were in the designated NPVR recorded show folder. 6.1.3 (230521)

I notice that when Nextpvr client starts up - the recorded show menu still thinks the now deleted shows are still there.  When you attempt to play the now deleted recording nothing happens... of course as its deleted... but then the record of this show just stays there in NPVR.  You need to go and delete these manually  in Nextpvr.

I bring this up as a question asking if this is the intended result in ver 6.  Pretty sure that in the old NPVR 4 deleting an item from the recorded show folder was picked up by the Nextpvr client software when you started npvr... and no such misalignment ever presented itself... but that was a while ago.. so I cant be sure.

Is there any way to force NPVR to review what is in its recorded show folder and sync?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

What are <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> and <NoRemoveWhenTreeMissing> set to in your config.xml?

The defaults will detect files that have been manually deleted, and remove the recording from the database. You may have changed these settings some time in the past though.

I notice that when Nextpvr client starts up

Was this nextpvr.exe? (with the web client, you may need to switch to the 'recent' or 'failed' view to get it to recheck whether the files exist, even if you have <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> set to true - this is due to an optimization to force the Recordings 'all recordings' web page to load as quickly as possible)
