[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305185, member: 141969"] Entries in the logs indicate that the deletion failed because the file was being used by another process (but the logs do not identify which process). Some people use programs such as RoboCopy to copy files from the recording folder to a different folder (often on a NAS), or run programs to convert the TS file to a more efficient data format. Are you doing anything like this? One behaviour that I have noticed on my system is that TV Server or the MP client generates thumbnails for recordings. While this is happening, the files will be locked, and so inaccessible to the deletion process. Your log files show that the Thumbnail processor is doing that for 261 recordings. Even worse is that it seems to repeat this each time TV Server starts. Maybe this is normal, but it suggests that the thumbnails are not being stored (so TV Server tries to recreate them). You could try disabling thumbnail creation in "TV Server Config" and "MP Config" and seeing if that makes a difference. It is also possible that the recordings database has been corrupted. To create a new one is rather tedious: [LIST] [*]Copy the entire recording folder to a different location (can be the same disk or a different disk). [*]Use "Windows Explorer" to delete everything in the recording folder. [*]Start the MP client and use the "Clean-up recordings" button in the left side menu of the "Recorded TV" panel. [*]Exit the MP client. [*]Copy the recordings back to the recording folder. [*]In "TV Server Config", use "Database Import" in the "Recordings" section to add the recordings to the database.
