Sage deleting some of my manual recordings

[vorius]

I'm noticing Sage is sometimes deleting my manual recordings ... anyone have any idea why? The only thing that seems to be consistent is it deletes it if I have watched a part of it after it has been recorded (but that is NOT to say I watched the entire video up to the prompt at the end which asks me to delete) What I do typically is check a part of the video to verify it and then I just press "Stop". Then by the next time I look at my videos (maybe later that day or the next day) that video is GONE. Just to be sure, I disabled the prompt to delete at the end of watching a recording, but that was done just recently so I have not had a chance to see if Sage still deletes videos on me.

Were the recordings complete?

Did you use the Record command or menu options on those recordings & ended up removing the Manual Recording status for them? If so, SageTV will feel free to delete them.

Are you using a custom STV or any STV imports?

You could enable debug logging to get info on why/when any file is deleted.

Yeah the recordings were complete.

I recorded it by using the record button on my remote which opened up some recording options menu and I said Record this show. Once I did that the info box on the top of the screen turned from a white outlined box to a red outlined box.

Later that day or the next day in some cases I would go into the Main Menu and choose something like SageTV Recordings and I'd find my video there and play a bit of it. I might fast forward some but I never watched the entire video. I then press the Stop button and I go back to watch live TV. Then the next time I go into that menu, that video might be simply gone.

I use regular V5 SageTV no plugins or anything.

I will try the debug logging so I can try catch it next time

It's still happening. It happens only when I record things from my Satellite service (not a package like DirecTV, it;s one of those satellites you buy a smart card for a channel or two separately and most other channels are FTA).

Since it's not a standard TV service I have no guide data for this channel, It just breaks up the satellite signal into 2 hour blocks regardless of what programs are actually playing. Anyway I have Sage record some blocks sometimes and I might review them later using Sage (going into the SageTV Recordings section) and *sometimes* those videos I review manage to get deleted by the program. I _certainly_ never specified to delete them. SageTV is deleting them for some odd reason.

I guess I'll have to enable logging
