If your frontend crashes when you try to delete a recording from a full (100%) disk, do the following:
- Kill the hanging frontend
$ killall -TERM mythfrontend
- Start the frontend
$ mythfrontend
- Get the date and time of the recording to delete (In the "Watch Recordings"/"Delete Recordings" Section of the frontend)
- Find the file in your recordings directory that mathces the recording
$ ls /{recordings_dir}/*_{YYYYMMDDHHMM}??_[{YYYYMMDDHHMM}??]*.nuv # {...} needs to be replaced by the proper values (recording directory / start time digits / end time digits) # [...] is optional
- Empty the file, but don't erase it (erasing messes everything up)
$ echo '' > {previously_determined_file} # {...} needs to be replaced by the proper values (the path to the file you previously determined to be the recording to erase) # If you get a "Permission denied" error, you need to switch to a user with write permission to the file (eg. type "su" to become root)
