There's only one script on the page. There are 2 gray blocks, the only
one with a script is the 2nd. The 1st is an example.

No need to paste another 19,000 lines. You can look at the file on your
backend by just using cat or less or nano. If you need help with those
three (or most non MythTV) commands, type: man cat or: man less etc.

Look at the example in the link. I suspect that the output of find-orphans.py
will look *similar* to this, only you'll have about 11 missing files:

Recordings with missing files
   mc1: Dragon Eyes                                                           4411_20130906220000.mpg
                                                                                   Count:           1
But *please*, open a new thread if you've got more questions. This isn't
related to the Carbon Footprint thread.

Also note that you can search for what previous posters have asked by
