RE: Re: Recordings in database but no recording on diskfor them
|

Question...
How would 1 file be offline versus the whole /mnt/storage (or
whatever) driectory? Could you check a file that should always be there
(/mnt/storage/nfslockfile.lock) and if that isn't there, don't touch the
database?
Granted... I really do like the idea of not placing the data into
Recorded until the program was successfully recorded (not sure how that
plays with the scheduler); if I have to reboot mythtv in the middle of
a program, the scheduler doesn't usually pick it up after the reboot
(well, it *was* recorded, eh).

SOLUTION
========
I've managed to find a safer solution to this - create a file with the
right name in your recordings directory by using touch - eg
# touch 1000_20050201110000_20050201111500.nuv
and then delete it. Deletes from mythweb work with this solution and I
presume deletes from mythtv would too, though I haven't tried it.
To find out what the file name is you can go into mythweb and
right-click on the title and then view the properties.
