| Post subject: | Spontaneous deletion of recorded programs |
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had seen this problem before - my box, running the R5v4 install, has taken to deleting overnight all recorded programs from the previous day. It does not appear to be autoexpire as I've disabled that everywhere that I can but it happens consistently and it's kind of frustrating. I'm having some problems with it in that I can't seem to find any events in the log that indicate that it is happening. I am therefore wondering if it may have anything to do w/ the mythfilldatatabase call (mine runs very early morning). Any thoughts on what I should check? Thanks, Donald |

It might be that you're not actually having your programs deleted, but rather that the database entries aren't being made or retained which correspond to your recordings. Take a look in /myth/tv and see if there aren't a bunch of .nuv files in there. If there are, this indicates a database problem. Do you ever see any listings in the "recorded programs" listing? On another note, maybe your problem is that you're using a product From The Future! We're not up to R5 yet. (I assume you're actually using R4V5.) |

RE: version number - yeah, yeah, I'm sick ... sue me for the transposition :) I'll take a look but I've already check and it does look like a physical deletion - I'm kinda stumped by it but I'll check the db as you suggest. |

Are you low on disk space? |

no, I never even manage to go over about 10% filled ... that's how I first noticed it, doing a df on my main drive after three days and seeing a very low percent used. |

also you can setup myth to delete old recordings so that it only keeps x number of a particular show, so you may want to check those settings and make sure you don't have it autoexpiring. |

is it possible that you've got it set to autoexpire and keep only the last 'n' shows, and you've left 'n' set to zero? |
