Deleting Recorded TV (1 Viewer)

[Remoteglen]

Hi guys

I tried to delete some TV shows I didn't want and it keeps coming up with an error saying it can't delete!

I have tried restarting MP with no luck, any ideas?

Regards

Hi,

your logs are full of this error:

TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [ERROR] - TvServer: Failed to execute remote TV server operation (IsAnyCardRecording) Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Your TV database might be corrupted. Try to repair it (MySQL Repair) - you will find explanations in the Wiki - and test again.

Glen,

Please clear contents of log directories, start mepo from start menu using the debug entry, reproduce the issue, close mepo and upload the zip that is created on the desktop.

Hi HTPC_Sourcer

I restarted the computer and it seems to be all working fine!

Thank you for your help with this and saving my sanity

Regards

I know this is an old thread, but rather than start a new one...... I couldn't delete one of the files in recorded tv. The others haven't had any problems before or after. Since it wouldn't delete. I tried deleting directly from the folder location. The files/folder are gone, but the entry remains in Recordings within MP. I've tried to repair the sql database, but everything shows "ok". I've tried cleaning the cache/registry, rebooting etc. Here are the logs. Any ideas? I only have a few other recordings at the moment. I guess I could move them and start fresh, but I'd prefer not to have to completely re-do everything if possible. Thanks.

Hello

There's a button in the recorded TV section (shown here):
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...iaPortal/3_TV/3_Record_TV/4_Watch_Recorded_TV

...called "clean up". Clicking on that should remove any entries that have been deleted from the file system.

Thanks. It says it will delete your recordings from the hard drive. Does that mean all of them? Do I need to copy the ones I want to keep first and then do the cleanup? I appreciate the help, just don't want to lose the rest of my recordings.

As this is a question that has come up before, I've added some additional information to the wiki.
You should select "yes" to delete recordings from the hard drive.
After this you'll be asked which recordings you want to delete:

• watched
• invalid (ie. file no longer exists)
  
• watched and invalid

You should select the second option (invalid).

That did it. Thanks for the clarification for me and everyone on the wiki! I should have known that a clean up function would be more useful than just deleting everything, but it sounded like that's what it was going to do.
