Hi all, thanks for your suggestions. Some clarification:

The steps I'm taking are:
1) Reboot MythTV computer
2) Run find_orphans.py
3) Select "delete orphaned recording entries" (only one time!)
4) Select "refresh list" (repeatedly)

When I select "refresh list" repeatedly, in the beginning, I do observe the
"orphaned recording" count decreasing, slowly. However, after decreasing by
2-10 entries, it stops decreasing further, even if I wait for hours...
Hours later, if I select "delete orphaned recording entries" again, it
deletes a few more before again stopping...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
James
