<div dir="ltr">I don't know why I didn't look before but I just looked in Manage Recording Rules and it is full of 'Record All Breakfast News...' rules. I don't know how many but was holding 'page down' for a good couple of minutes and still did not get past them. Too many to delete manually I suspect. Would this be a likely cause! How can I get rid of them without setting aside a couple of day deleting them one at a time?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 8 May 2015 at 22:45, Scott Moncrieff <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scottcmoncrieff@gmail.com" target="_blank">scottcmoncrieff@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I would imagine the database is huge, I have been running this system for about 7 year now and the current recordings hard drive has more than 2TB of data on it.

I will have a look at mysqltuner but Is it likely that something is is<br>
wrong with the database? There are a large number of errors in the log<br>
trying to delete recordings that are not there. I have had a look at the<br>
drive that the recordings are stored on and these are all files that have<br>
been watched and then deleted. Obviously still present in the database. The<br>
thumb nails for all the video files are still present on the drive though<br>
but the recordings are long gone.<br>
<br>
Would manually deleting all of these entries from the 'recored' table be a<br>
bad idea?<br>

Yes, it's a bad idea because it wouldn't clear out, for example the recordedseek<br>
table.<br>
<br>
As mentioned before, I don't think this is your problem. You should clean that<br>
up, but solve the running out of space issue 1st.<br>
<br>
I didn't see any response to my question. Have you created any new<br>
custom recording rules lately?<span><font color="#888888"><br>
