I only had about 100 shows
The backend had:
3      open png files
255    open png files that were deleted
11     open nuv files
382    open nuv files that were deleted

Also some of the deleted files are showing up 4 times:
679 -> /home1/store/1011_20040920220000_20040920230000.nuv (deleted)
680 -> /home1/store/1011_20040920220000_20040920230000.nuv (deleted)
681 -> /home1/store/1011_20040920220000_20040920230000.nuv (deleted)
682 -> /home1/store/1011_20040920220000_20040920230000.nuv (deleted)

Auto expire is set to 10minutes.

If I look at my backend right now, it is recording 2 shows and I am
viewing another(on a different computer).   So, I would think there
would be 3 open .nuv files but there are 7, it has 2 of them open twice.
