Automatic Recording Cleanup

[weavol]

Is there a way to setup Next PVR to automatically:

 -- Delete Videos that have already been viewed
 -- Delete Videos that have aged like anything more than three weeks old.

There is only really a couple of things on this front:
- if you play to the end of a file, it does ask you if you want to delete the file.
- when scheduling recurring recordings, you can tell it to only keep the last X episodes. older ones will be deleted.

I think deleting old recording by age under NextPVR control would be really dangerous. On Linux and Windows you can script deleting files based on age though based on a folder and extension etc. NextPVR is typically configured to delete removed files for the database and view.

If you want a script AI can be very helpful, but be careful on extensions.

Is there a way to setup 5 letter words Next PVR to automatically:

 -- Delete Videos that have already been viewed
 -- Delete Videos that have aged like anything more than three weeks old.

Until then, using an external script seems like the safest approach as long as it only targets the recording folders.
