Note: The correct title of this article is myth.find_orphans.pl. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
Warning: This script is deprecated. It has not been updated in line with changes to the main mythtv programs. The developers are looking to put this functionality into the main backend and frontend programs, but as at 28 Feb 2010 this has not been achieved. See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/425156#425156
myth.find_orphans.pl is a perl script in the contrib directory for finding orphaned rows in the recorded table (entries which don't have matching media files) and orphaned media files (potentially taking up gigabytes of otherwise usable disk space) which have no matching row in the recorded table.
Note on option --host=
When using more than one MythTV backend and the option --host=<foo>, <foo> should be the name of the host connected to the TV tuner hardware. The script does not seem to support more than one backend with connected TV tuners yet. It only finds database entries for a single specified backend.
