I have the scribe 4k with built-in 1tb drive. I have hundreds of low-quality recordings and I would like to just delete them all. Unfortunately I can't find a way to delete an entire show, or all shows or anything like that. On my apple tv or iphone I can only individually select, hit delete, confirm deletion, on Every. Single. Episode. Not really feasible. I see the api curl command I can use, and I tested that once on my mac successfully, but that again just deleted a single episode. Does anyone have a batch script I could utilize to pull the episode ids and delete them all in an automated fashion? if they must be deleted one-by-one at least I could hopefully extract all of the ids and build a script that goes through and sends the commands all individually for me.
in searching for answers I mostly just saw people suggesting to plug the drive into a computer and delete the files manually. That would work if I had a drive plugged in, but I'm using the scribe's built-in 1tb drive.
Any suggestions?

Re: Possible to batch delete recordings on Scribe?
If you want to delete everything everything, you can format the drive by opening Terminal and running:
hdhomerun_config deviceid set /hdd/debug format_hdd
Substitute the actual device ID for the HDHomeRun in place of deviceid.
