I was discussing this problem in another older and closed thread.  Sorry can't find it.  Was involving not being able to delete supposedly corrupt files?  

Problem.   At random times some shows will not delete.  Have been waiting for the problem to show up again as it's very random.   

When this happens nothing can delete the file.  Not within normal NPVR program use OR using any Windows OS means.  Even tried an elevated cmd prompt to delete it.  Only get "Can not delete - File in use".   Safe mode etc. no help.   Only way I was able to finally delete the file(s) was to shut down Nextpvr, and shut down the NPVR server.  I can then use normal Windows file explorer to find and delete the show.  

Last few days I've had two shows that are now having this problem   So today I tried to delete them several times within Nextpvr (no joy) and then saved the logs.   So last minute or so of attached logs show my attempts to delete.   I know from past experiences, I've had them listed in my recorded shows for weeks and could not delete them until I shut down Nextpvr and turned off the Npvr server.

So today I once again had to shut down npvr app and it's server and then manually delete one of the programs. then restart the PC. And now the one (of two) problems shows is finally deleted. I left the remaining "stuck in limbo" show in my recorded shows for further testing if needed. Attached are the logs.

The logs show a newly occurring error in this version I have asked about. If it is a major concern as we first noted you need to disable thumbnail generation

Thanks.  I forgot about the Thumbnail thing.   I have confirmed that works.  I turned OFF thumbnails and was then able to delete the problem show using the regular Nextpvr application procedure.   I then turned thumbnails back on.   I really like and use that thumbnail time line navigation thing a lot.  

I assume this is being working on ?   (I hope)   <grin>
