[mythtv-users] Inconsistent file deletions from the backend.

[Zarthan South]

I am baffled by what appears to be a totally inconsistent behavior. After a
recording I use a user job to convert recordings to mp4 and then add them
back into the database. As part of the conversion I use mythlink to create
a directory structure for myth upnp. When I delete the file from mythweb I
use a system event to find and remove the broken links that were created
with mythlink. Perhaps up to 20% of the file deletions fail and even though
the database is updated and I no longer show the program in mythweb the
actual mp4 files are still on the disk.  I set the logs to only show
file,extra to see if I could see what is happening.
Looking at the logs it seems like in spite of the fact that the mp4 file is
found, the delete function is against the mpg file.

Can someone help me understand this?
