Recording .map files remain after deletion

[sub]

The original recording might be open for thumbnails and timing files

That's my suspicion. I've made a change for the next release that should take care of that scenario.

Here is the log file. i just deleted a family guy episode and the map file was retained.

The zip that NextPVR creates for you is better.

For after the fact deletions what do you have in config.xml?

<DeleteAdditionalExtensions>...</DeleteAdditionalExtensions>

Maybe NextPVR doesn't add the new ones? It should have ,map,m3u8,thumbnails,timing

Here is the log zip and my config.

Those additional files do get created but only map remains after deletion.

Looks like map extension is included in that XML parameter.

FYI, the family guy episode I just deleted was through NPVR web app to rule out Kodi plugin.

Thanks,

Deletes from Kodi are via the web service API. Not sure why the config.xml setting is not being respected and no errors are generated.

If @sub was saying the map file should be deleted on recording completion rather than deletion that would explain why the delete is not being attempted.

[mvallevand]

It is removed on deletion if the value is in config.xml (I faked one, it was not a left over)

Ok, but as stated it's not on every occurrence. It's only on some recordings that the map file gets orphaned.

[mvallevand]

Because we haven't been getting the logs I decided to create a test scenario, and it does do exactly what you say.

The proper config.xml setting to delete these turns out to be ts.map not just .map.

Do you you sometimes time shift and watch in-progress past their end time?
