Tvheadend

Are they really being deleted, or simply removed from the list of available recordings? There's a setting in the tvheadend web interface that controls the retention period in the recordings list, although it doesn't ever delete the files themselves unless you manually tell it to.

I've never used the XBMC setting, so I suspect that tvheadend is ignoring it and automatically 'pruning' your recording list as above.

Thank you! Thats a great hint...gonna check this out when I am at home.

If they are only removed from the recordinglist is there a way to update the recordinglist?

Thank you!

You mean add them back in? There's a directory of DVR log files, you'd need to re-create the log file or restore from backup and perhaps tvh would pick them up again on a restart. Much easier to increase the log retention period to something much longer so they don't disappear in the first place...
