Hi All,
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:
T Ultimate survival: Arizona Sky Islands D Bear Grylls is in Arizona, het land van de Apachen, waar hij laat zien hoe je in de uitgestrekte gebieden met bloedhete woestijnen en ijskoude bergen kunt overleven. G 81 F 25 P 50 L 0
In /var/log/everything.log I see the following messages:
Oct 21 20:42:04 localhost vdr: [31323] low disk space while recording, trying to remove a deleted recording... Oct 21 20:42:04 localhost vdr: [31323] ...no deleted recording found, trying to delete an old recording... Oct 21 20:42:04 localhost vdr: [31323] ...no old recording found, giving up
Why doesn't vdr delete the above recording with a lifetime of 0?
I run the folowing versions: VDR version 1.7.19 started loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-xineliboutput.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-sc.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] [general.debug] using new 1.7.11+ capture code Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-dvbsddevice.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-conflictcheckonly.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-epgsearchonly.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-live.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] [live] INFO: validating server ip '0.0.0.0' Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-epgsearch.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-quickepgsearch.so.1.7.19 Oct 19 21:13:57 localhost vdr: [26241] loading /var/lib/vdr/setup.conf

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.
Cheers,
Udo
