Tvheadend

Assuming the user has a normal environment (not some cut-down environment where tools don't quite work) then the following will show files that exist in the recording directory (assumed to be /media/recordings) but do not exist in the dvr log files:

cd ~hts/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/log;

find /media/recordings/ -type f  |  grep -v  -f <(grep \"filename\": * | awk -F\" '{print $4}' | xargs -d'\n' realpath)  |& grep -v -e jpg$ -e nfo$ -e txt$

The "realpath" is there because I have some symlinks as mount points have moved around, and the final grep is to remove common clutter that may be created such as images, nfo files or cut lists.

I couldn't use "jq" since a few of my files contained invalid characters in parent/child such as:
"parent": "<C0>^H"
and
"child": "<C0>^H",
and this prevented parsing.

I think the child/parent accessors should use prop_sbuf, but since I don't know how they are used I haven't made the change.

Good point. The problem is even worse (modification of prop_sbuf_ptr which should not be touched at all). Fixes in https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/repository/revisions/ffb2932c5c8ab7cc3d5fcc7a28960194f4fc938e .
