Ok, I did some debugging. First of all, I noticed something weird that perhaps is not even related to this problem. In vdr.c there is a check: if ((Now - LastInteract) > ACTIVITYTIMEOUT if softhhddevice is detached or suspended, "Now - LastInteract" is always zero, and vdr can never enter housekeeping tasks. This must be a bug in softhddevice? But, with softhddevice attached, housekeeping starts after 60 seconds. However, now with the added debug, I could not reproduce the original problem. :) VDR always deletes my recordings nicely. But now I have the debug enabled, in case it happens again. 2018-01-18 12:26 GMT+02:00 Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger@xxxxxxx>: > On 18.01.2018 08:54, Teemu Suikki wrote: >> >> Ok, it might be the same thing. >> >> I added some debug as Klaus suggested.
