I'm not sure if this will help you, but on my box in the contrib directory<br>
there's script called <a href="http://myth.find_orphans.pl" target="_blank">myth.find_orphans.pl</a> which will cross reference the<br>
DB and storage and optionally remove any orphaned files.<br>
<br>
On my box the path is:-<br>
<br>
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/<a href="http://myth.find_orphans.pl" target="_blank">myth.find_orphans.pl</a><br></blockquote><div><br>I do know I have a bunch of orphaned files and/or database entries. However, I noticed that this script wasn't in my 0.24-fixes contrib directory, and I went off to find out why.<br>
<br>Turns out, according to the wiki and the thread referenced there, that the script is deprecated and not recommended anymore.<br><br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.find_orphans.pl">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.find_orphans.pl</a><br>
