I am discovering new issues.  I installed the find_orphans script and ran
it.  I was able to remove some stuff, but when trying to remove orphaned
videos and recordings, I get the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./find_orphans.py", line 230, in <module>
    main()
  File "./find_orphans.py", line 214, in main
    opt[1](opt[2])
  File "./find_orphans.py", line 129, in delete_recs
    rec.delete(True, True)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MythTV/dataheap.py", line 365, in
delete
    return self.getProgram().delete(force, rerecord)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MythTV/mythproto.py", line 960, in
delete
    res = int(be.deleteRecording(self, force=force))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
