Hi Udo,

I have the same problem (still using an older version of VDR, tho). VDR does delete the contents of the directory, but it doesn't always delete the primary directory below 'video'. In your example you (or in my case me ;o)) still have
/video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/
(being empty) left over.
If it happens next time, check:
- Owning user and group of the folder
- File permissions
- User account that runs VDR
Most times when I notice that folder deleting didn't work, it was because the files/folders accidentally had wrong permissions or owners.
I run VDR as root (the only account on the machine) and VDR created the folders, so this shouldn't be a problem, but I'll have a look at the folder's owners & permissions.
it's SO good to hear that i'm not alone with that 'problem'. in the #vdrportal irc noone had that problem.
i have video[0123] nfs-mounted. vdr runs as root. vdr creates all these directories and this is what syslog says:
Oct 10 00:10:02 vdr vdr: [3933] remove deleted recordings thread started (pid=3933, tid=3933) Oct 10 00:10:02 vdr vdr: [3933] removing recording /video0/Andromeda/S04E15_Die_letzte_Fahrt_ins_Nichts/2006-05-19.19.15.50.99.del Oct 10 00:11:47 vdr vdr: [3933] remove deleted recordings thread ended (pid=3933, tid=3933)
and guess what: this empty recording is still there. (using only 4k - so it's no big deal ;)
root@vdr:/video0/Andromeda/S04E15_Die_letzte_Fahrt_ins_Nichts# ls -la total 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 6 Oct 9 23:30 . drwxrwxrwx 48 root root 4096 Aug 3 20:57 ..
