Automatic Deleter

[moo]

The auto deleter in gb-pvr gets rid of recordings that dont exist. But could this be changed so that insted it marks them as missing and moves them to a missing folder. That way if you have a usb hard drive and the cable falls out you dont lose all your recordings.

No, I wont be making this change.

You can disable this default behaviour though, by setting <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> in config.xml

I think is asked the question very badly
What im wondering is can you make it mark missing in the db and have it not show up in gb-pvr but if the file reappears it will put it back into gbpvr that way if a drive is disconnected when you reconnect it providing you have the files still on the drive. Your info will come back as well as the recording info.

Sorry, no I probably wont be doing this any time soon.

So then what happens if a removeable drive is bumped and the power or usb comes loose. You lose all your recording information.

I wouldnt suggest using removeable hard drives for your recording drive, but if you are, you always have the option to set <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> in config.xml as I indicated above.

There is a utility on the wiki for searching and adding recordings into the database.

I use this when I do some housekeeping and move recording between drives. GBPVR deletes the old location automatically and I run the utility points to create a pointer to the new location.
