![]() ![]() ![]() Is there an easy way to just scrap the entire database and start fresh? With the drive not full anymore, you can use the front end to delete the dummy file.īugger, I have too many in my database that are borked to bother with trying to do that. You can then delete the files you want, and replace with a dummy file. The files are stored with the start and end times in the filenames, so you can figure out which file belongs to which show without digging through the database. The problem I have is that when the drive is full, deleting through MythFrontend just causes the application to hang, and the file not get deleted. I just tried that and I still have the listings in my media library. ![]() On 0.19 it looks like it lets you do all per series, too. The drawback is you have to do it one by one. Media Library -> Previously Recorded -> select an epside -> Remove this episode from the list. How can I remove the entries in the database that no longer have files associated with them? The frontend won't let me do this. You can setup mythtv to log some of them to the database, too, and if you're using mythweb I think you can look at them there, too. Your best bet is probably to just look through the logs somehow. not sure why they're not deleting though. The permissions are set to 777, so there should be not problem in it accessing the folder. The owner of the folder is my mythtv user (the one that runs the frontend), and the group is set to users. I basiclly used the guide on for the setup. Its a volume composed of partions from 3 different physical discs. The folder I use for storing recordings is a LVM volume mounted on /var/video. I'll do some research on my logs, see if there's anything funny. This that bad? Should I be running mythfrontend as root as well? I'm running mythbackend as root via the /etc/init.d/ scrpit, and then running mythfrontend as a regular user. Also, what directory are you saving them to, what are the permissions, and what user are you running mythbackend as, and what user mythfrontend as? And finally, what mythtv version. My other suggestion is to run mythbackend in a terminal window and log it, and see if its giving any errors about deleting records. You can actually delete stale records from the database in mythfrontend. So I now have a bunch of entries in my media library with no file, yet I cannot removed then from inside the frontend because the file does not exist. Of course this leads to the problem of the entry sill remaining in the database with no file associated with it. I also have the option selected for recordings to auto-expire in the settings (and I can even see the auto-expire icon beside each recording in the media library).Īlso, I cannot delete these from the frontend when the drive has reached full capacity, so I have to delete them manually. The folder that the recordings are stored in should be accessable by anyone. Ok, for some reason my recordings are not being auto deleted by mythtv, which has a tendancy of contuniually filling up my hard drive.
