The other day I had over 70 recordings of one perticular show, now I have just over 40. When I look in the directory there are almost 100 .ts files.
If I try to import recordings, after I select the .xml file it shows and error stating I do not have xmltv.dtd file (cannot locate it in windows explorer either)

Are your recordings on a local drive, or a network drive (or removable drive)? Recordings can in some cases be deleted from the database if it can't connect to the drive the recording is on.

For your attempt to import recordings, you have pointed it at your xmltv files, which will not contain recordings. It contains tv listings:

It is a USB hard drive that I can unplug then replug if that helps. All my shows are in the same directory but some show up so I don't think that's the issue.

As for the the xml file, where is the necessary one located?

Each time the EPG is updated, it stores a backup of the current recording list in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\recordings-backup.xml. Previous runs are named recordings-backup.xml.1 and recordings-backup.xml.2. If one of these still has your missing recordings (ie, epg hasn't been updated too many times), you'll be able to import it to get them back.

Since it's a removable drive, you might want to set the following in your config.xml:

<AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>

Would NoRemoveWhenTreeMissing be a more selective choice for a share, drive or stick missing??

Maybe. I think that is already set by default though, so they have to use AutoRemoveMissingRecordings.

Well I did try to import recordings but I think during my investigating I accidentally Exported the recording file so there was nothing new to import. I manually imported each .ts and it looks like they play. On the other hand if I try to delete a file I get an error window see attached.

Is your recording service stopped? When you delete a recording, it tells the recording service, and in this case it looks like it's unable to communicate with it.
