In cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action() VDR tries to get a lock on the video directory. If this fails, it can't remove deleted recordings. Please add some debug output to this function, to see whether it is called and whether it gets the lock. If it doesn't get the lock while Plex is running, try without Plex.

Just for reference, my recordings directory is also an nfs share but I don't recall ever experiencing this issue. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org https://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] VDR not cleaning .del directories
Ok, I did some debugging. First of all, I noticed something weird that perhaps is not even related to this problem. In vdr.c there is a check: if ((Now - LastInteract) > ACTIVITYTIMEOUT if softhhddevice is detached or suspended, "Now - LastInteract" is always zero, and vdr can never enter housekeeping tasks. This must be a bug in softhddevice? But, with softhddevice attached, housekeeping starts after 60 seconds. However, now with the added debug, I could not reproduce the original problem. :) VDR always deletes my recordings nicely. But now I have the debug enabled, in case it happens again. 2018-01-18 12:26 GMT+02:00 Klaus Schmidinger : > On 18.01.2018 08:54, Teemu Suikki wrote: >> >> Ok, it might be the same thing. >> >> I added some debug as Klaus suggested.
