I’ve run into a really frustrating problem after having experimented with the Plex DVR Beta.
I enabled the DVR functionality, and set up a couple of programmes to record, including the last few episodes of the current season of Doctor Who. I had it set up to delete the recordings once I’d watched, and messed up slightly and set it up initially on my main TV Shows library. Once I’d realised what I’d done I updated the recording settings and directed the recordings to a totally new library.
However ever since then I’ve run into problems with other episodes in the folders I inadvertently recorded to also disappearing if they have been watched, so several rips from older DVD’s and Blurays that I have watched from Plex have been deleted.
I then tried to delete the installed DVR and Plex displayed an error that an error had been encountered deleting the DVR, although the DVR and Live TV option is now showing as if it weren’t installed, however today two watched episodes of Doctor Who again got deleted.
As an interim measure I’ve locked the folders for Doctor Who and the other programmes that I’d set up on the Plex DVR Beta, however I want to stop Plex trying to delete the files in the first place.
Firstly, which log file should I be looking in for the deletes, and then how do I ensure the DVR functionality is totally removed?
