I have installed VDR. It runs great, but it has one problem. It does not delete my old recordings. I have a lot of recordings, and they all have
a
lifetime of 0. See also the following info file:
VDR deletes old recordings if - Disk space on the root video directory is less than 1Gb (39 min) - The recording is on the file system(s) of the root video directory - The recording is not edited (does not start with %) - The guaranteed lifetime has expired (99 never expires) - In case of lifetime=0, the current recording needs higher priority than the old recording
The first two rules about the root video directory do account for everything within the usual /video.00, /video.01, etc. folders, but not any directory trees mounted to sub-directories. So if you mount a disk to /video/archive, disk space will not count there, and nothing will be deleted.

I see. I have 2 partitions, a / partition and a /storage partition. I would like to record to /storage/video/video.00. I have edited /etc/default/vdr so it reads: # /etc/default/vdr # # See also /usr/share/doc/README.Debian # # Change to 1 to enable vdr's init-script ENABLED=1 # Change this to 1 if you want vdr to be able to shutdown the # computer ENABLE_SHUTDOWN=0 # Options that will be passed to vdr's commandline # for example: OPTIONS="-w 15" OPTIONS="-v /storage/video/video.00 -w 60" # Set this to load only plugins with the correct patch level PLUGIN_CHECK_PATCHLEVEL="no" PLUGIN_CHECK_STARTABLE="no" # Locale which is used when running vdr VDR_LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE="ISO8859-15"
Still I get the error:
Oct 22 07:51:24 localhost vdr: [1579] low disk space while recording, trying to remove a deleted recording... Oct 22 07:51:24 localhost vdr: [1579] ...no deleted recording found, trying to delete an old recording... Oct 22 07:51:24 localhost vdr: [1579] ...no old recording found, giving up
What can I do?
Best reards, Cedric
