Well, after having watched a video in MP I am unable to delete either from MP itself neither from the drive directy while MP is still open.

After closing mediaportal the files can be deleted fine and those who were delete from inside MP simply vanish.

For me this is a bug, in my eyes MP should be able to release files just fine after playing them. For now I have to close MP every time if I want to move or delete seen shows.

I would ask you guys to confirm this very anoying one. Thanks!

Can't anybody confirm this????

All you have to to is go to MyVideos Module, watch a video and try to delete it!

C'mon guys!

Cannot confirm!

What I did is:

1. go to myVideos
2. start a recording (dvr-ms) to watch
3. stopped that recording
4. opened context menu-> delete this file
5. file has been deleted

What format has your file and what skin are you using-> please try with BlueTwo-Skin.

I've used the standard MCE skin after watching an xvid/divx encoded AVI file. tomorrow I'll try newest SVN and another skin and report again!

Thanks for checking.

I can´t confirm this using latest CVS.
I had this problem long time ago. It was related to windows explorer. When I closed explorer.exe in taskmanager and restatred it (new task - explorer.exe) I was able to delete MP recorded files. After playing long time with this problem I reinstalled windows and the problem was gone.
