One of the features I have placed in the code is to delete all database records related to a video when you delete the video from the hard disk. This seemed like a pretty obvious thing to do but I thought I would ask in case I am missing a reason why you might want to keep databases records for which you no longer have to original video. This all happens in the background.

It also means that CyberSimian won't have to be concerned about deleting all watched recordings because the system will only delete data for records you have chosen to delete manually.

Also, in the GetMediaInfoThread I check whether the database has any records for files that are no longer in the current folder (LoadDirectory) and remove them - so both bases are covered: i.e. disk files deleted using MP or outside of the system.

Is there anything I may have missed in doing this?
