Delete from DVR

[enesha]

Scroll down a bit more in the User dashboard.  Is media deletion not enabled for that library?



Regarding playing the recordings/live TV.  It looks like there's a lot of irregularities with the file that are exposed when transcoding.  It is likely that your phone is direct playing the file.

You can try remuxing one of the recordings to see if repairing the container helps.

Code:

/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -fflags +genpts+igndts -i "/path/to/problem/video.ts" -map 0 -codec copy -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -max_interleave_delta 0 -avoid_negative_ts disabled newFile.mp4

Hiya - I'll try the remux a but later, thanks for the suggesion.  I wonder why the phone would direct play and the web would not.  I would have assumed the web would have more codecs or whatnot.  Eh whatever, I'll try 

It says I have delete access to all libraries...  Tho to be honest I've never really used that function.  I'm sure it's handy, but when I did use it once, It deleted the file, but not all the associated schmutz, some of which JF made, some was from tmm or whatever, and of course the directory still existed.   All makes sense, can't have the server just blindly deleting a bunch of stuff it didn't make.  that could end up a nightmare lol.  I can still manage from the filesystem just fine, just thought the option might exist in a parity with my average tivo/dvr.  Understood this is far more magic and hope than that dedicated system so it's all good.

I did have some other random live-tv questions....

How does it handle multiple tuner scheduling?  The one hdhgomerun there now is a dual tuner, but I was considering a hauppauge -> tvheadend -> antenna to JF or even another hdhomerun...Does it combine tuners from those different sources for scheduling?

How does it manage the series itself, or process a series for recording?  For testing I added three series in this order:  Married with Children - Mama's Family and Judge Judy.  I initially added Mama as only new recordings.  Obviously I would imagine nothing new since the 80's so I eventually changed it to all episodes, don't record what's already in the library.  After making that change, none of the Mama in the future are scheduled to record.  I can't seem to find a wya to manually choose an episode, as the screen has the record icon as grey and you can't click on it or the episode/.

Just trying to understand the ins and outs so I can adjust my habits to conform
