Manually deleted recordings via Explorer

mobiusnz · 2017-11-28, 08:06 AM

In a rush to free up space tonight I deleted an entire series we hadn't gotten round to watching and doing it via NPVR is a bit tedious when you have 20 recordings to delete so I did it through explorer. Will NPVR eventually pick up the missing files and clean up the recordings list or am I going to have to still delete them manually?

No a biggie but I've been down this road before when we realise the 1TB is filling up and have to go through and do a purge.

If this line in the config.xml file is set to true the recording list will be updated
<AutoRemovsingRecordings>false</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>

The default behaviour of NextPVR is to delete from the database any recordings that no longer have it's file on disk. Make sure your <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> is still set to true.

Thanks guys. Little slow coming back to this thread sorry as I noticed later the database had cleaned itself up.
