[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1227925, member: 82144"] Well, I can only guess like you! [LIST=1] [*]Presumably in the past you had such a recording. [*]At some time you tried to delete it. [*]When TV Server deletes a recording, it also deletes the thumbnail. [*]TV Server will fail to delete any file - recording, thumbnail or otherwise - with name longer than ~260 characters. This is a Microsoft .NET/Windows limitation. [*]The name of that recording was longer than 260 characters, so TV Server will [always!] fail to delete it. [*]When TV Server fails to delete a recording, it adds the recording to a "retry" list. [*]What you're seeing in the log is TV Server trying to remove all recordings that are in the retry list. [*]Because of (5) and (6), the recording will never be successfully deleted and will stay in the retry list forever. [*]Maybe the files don't exist because you manually deleted the recording and thumbnail. [*]TV Server will continue to try to delete recordings even when the files don't exist because the database entry/record still exists. [/LIST] If I were you I would just ignore it. It's [a little] annoying, but completely harmless. If it really bothers you, delete the recording from the DB with a third party DB access/management tool. [/QUOTE]
