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). -Thor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phill Edwards Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2005 12:00 AM To: MythTV Users List Subject: [mythtv-users] Re: Recordings in database but no recording on diskfor them > I have a few entries in the database in the "recorded" table which > don't have a corresponding .nuv file on disk.

I don't want to screw up the integrity of the database. 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. Regards, Phill
