Tvheadend

There is already the option "DVR Log retention time (days)" available in the recording section. Maybe it is possible to delete the recording file, too. This way, you could also keep your recording folder clean.
By the way, what's the purpose of keeping the record file endlessly while tvheadend might have forgotten anything about it?

Hi,
This has been worked around with the third-party post-processing script Autodelete: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/4300
This script will always delete the oldest recordings so that there is still some space free on the hard disk.

I would add an option like "delete related recording" (conditioned to "DVR Log Retention Time" > 0). It would be very useful.

I did put a very high "DVR Log Retention Time".
TvHeadend automatically detects the files deleted by Autodelete, this way the log and the files on the disk are consistent.

I would love an option as Mario has mentioned. If I save a new autorec, I don't want to ssh into the PC and rescript the clean up procedure. I think, tvheadend should handle the autocleaning of the records.
At some time in the future, one may implement an option such as "Number of recordings to keep". But for now, this should do it.

I agree, this would be useful. I was just saying that using a post-processing script such as autodelete does the job.
