[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1192610, member: 109222"] Hi. We are working on implementing this feature but it isn't as easy as it may look. The MP2 server is running with low privileges, not under a full user account. This is necessary for security reasons and to have the server up and running even if no user is logged in. So the server has no proper rights to delete files directly. That's why it isn't implemented already as we need a way to bypass this security issue without corrupting the whole security system. As we can not expect to have the recording folders shared under any circumstances we need a solution that is working even in such cases. Not that easy... A very easy workaround is to delete the no longer needed recordings from explorer or similar. On the next manual or automatic refresh of the recordings source deleted recordings are removed from the DB. It can be done from any PC in your home network, even from a tablet or smartphone, as long as the recordings source is accessible from network neighborhood. This way folders and xml files can be removed too. Also I have the MP2 server running on my "main" HTPC this is the way I'm doing it since the beginning. Delete recordings from within MP2 GUI I only do occasionally. Often I cut and edit the recordings and convert them with MKV-Buddy for adding them to my media library. [/QUOTE]
