I am not sure how movies you record work, have never recorded one, I am presuming they work the same as tv shows. delete with rerecord was especially useful when an episode somehow didn’t get recorded correctly (i.e. Two more: delete with rerecord vs the delete permanently, and some indication of disk space utilization. And I also miss a lot of mythtv features. If it is desired to support saving a specific episode only, then, on the episode page where you can mark as watched, etc, you could have a "do not delete" flag. I just switched from mythtv to tivo as well. In this way, you can easily retain shows you never want to remove, which by default, is everything just as it is now.

I set -v general,important,files and got the attached log. I suppose you'd keep a timestamp for each episode that says when it was changed to watched. With current v0.25pre-2145-gf199a84-dirty, nothing is getting autoexpired. You would simply need something that runs on a schedule that checks for watched episodes that have reached their setting, i.e.
Mythtv autoexpire vs delete manual#
So, the settings added to each series would be:Īuto delete watched days - defaults to never, but, otherwise, number of days after it reaches a watched state, whether manual or after watching.

To me, it belongs on the series screen (or when creating a new one). classic old stuff you'd watch time and again) but I reckon that my be asking a bit much! Edited Septemby Kurosh topical stuff you would only watch once) and ignore other ones you wanna keep (e.g. I suppose others may want to go further and select which TV shows to look at (e.g. Select OK to confirm your choice and then the channel is deleted. Cancel is there in case you changed your mind or made a typing mistake.
Is there any way to make this script look at the TV show library and not Movies / Concerts etc.? However, when are going to delete a channel you get a popup window that asks 'Delete ChannelIt looks like it doesn't distinguish between movies (wanna keep all regardless of watched state) and TV Shows (wanna remove watched ones). Here is the script if anyone else is interested in trying it out: On first run it will ask you some questions to generate the config file, or you can create it manually With this approach, you're basically treating the 'watched' flag as an 'archived' flag. It first lists all the files, then will list the files that will be deleted. them, or manually delete recordings and choose to not allow re-record. By default it does not delete files until you modify the config file to be safer. So no guarantee it will work for everyone, and since it can delete files have a backup to be safe. I built this for myself and it works good enough for me, but I have only tested it on my system (ubuntu 18.04) with my server. If the last played date is past the cut off date it will delete the file. Hi, I created a python script that will look for all watched content for a specific user.
