<div>on Ubuntu 17.10. I removed a number of recordings from the
command line while I was archiving my shows. I was planning
on using find_orphans to remove the references in the database
but that step isn't working. When I run it, it lists the
"Recordings without files", and when I try to delete the
recording entries, nothing happens. </div>

</div>
<div>I saw a patch for find_orphans on the mailing list from a
bit of time ago, but that didn't work either. I'm using the
find_orphans from the wiki page that says it works with .29,
but I'm just having a problem with it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is find_orphans still the right script to use to remove the
references from the database, or should I be using something
else?</div>

<div>Thanks!</div>

Try running it using sudo and see if it isn't a permissions
problem...<br>
