Hi All, I've come across another issue (I'll need others to confirm if it should be considered a bug). I haven't been able to locate another post specifically about this.
This is how to replicate.
1. If not already, you need to make/have at least 2 completed TV recordings that you don't want (ie can delete or remove). They need to be at least a minute long each (not that how long they are is the issue, but if they are to short you have to be very quick to see the issue). Preference is to record programs that get named via EPG (ie not 'manual') as it makes the issue easier to verify. Try to also record TV that you haven't recorded before so it doesn't create a folder to store the same shows in, again it just makes it easier to verify.
2. In 'Recorded TV', select one of the recording and play it in full screen.
3. After it has started go back so that you are at the Recorded TV selections screen, with the recording you are playing, still playing in the bottom left.
4. Go to the same recording in the selection list, and delete the recording (ie delete the recording that is playing).
5. The recording will be removed from the selection list while it keeps on playing in the bottom left (This is the clue that led me to think there was a problem).
6. Select Stop to halt the recording that is playing.
Now, repeat the above steps but this time SWAP steps 4 and 6 above for another/different recording. Both will be gone from the selection list (as you would expect).
7. Exit MP and using explorer or whatever go to your Recorded TV location/folder.
You will see that the first recording file still exists in the folder (although it's related .XML file has been deleted), and for the second both the recording and .XML file have been removed.
In the first case you effectively have an orphaned recording, and you have to delete it manually. The second is working as you would expect.
OK. Now I've explained what the issue is, I'll explain what I think is going on with the first case.
When you go to delete the first recording, the actually file the recording is in is actually open and in use, and as in most OS's you cant delete a file if this is the case, so the OS wont let MP delete it.
To my way of thinking the behaviour that has MP trying to delete a file it is currently playing is incorrect.
Solution: After you select delete (and confirm it) for any recording...or any other file MP has access to (videos/music)...it first stops that file, closing it with the OS enabling it to be deleted correctly.
Of course this solution assumes that something non-MP related also doesn't have the file open, but I think that is a reasonable assumption. This of course could also be dealt with at an error/informational level.
Can others please confirm this issue for me please. BTW I'm not running any SVN's.
Regards, Pete
