Easy Multiple Recording Deletion

[tvlooker]

Hi folks,

I'm sure they'll eventually add the ability to easily delete multiple recordings to HDHomeRun, but I'm sick of waiting around, so
I wrote a nice, very simple web page with javascript that gives you a nice UI for deleting multiple recordings.
You can find it here. Free for all: https://github.com/slimandslam/hdhomeru ... on-manager

I am surprised there are no replies to your (tvlooker) posting. This is an amazing piece of work and usable first time in. So a big THANK YOU for doing this. I didn't really need it's functionality so much as I wanted to see a code example of how to extract file information from my HD devices and this was a great example. I will be using it for it's intended purpose of course ( I still remember deleting about 100 and more episodes of a particular sitcom that I didn't want any more). The project I am interested in doing is automation in moving the media files off of the attached drive to a network drive. I think there is software at SiliconDust to have it recorded to network drives directly but I would want to time shift that to less trafficked network times. Anyway I am not sure if I can succeed in this since I am a newbie programmer especially with html. Anyway KUDOS to a great effort. choris

Thanks for this even if it's unfortunately not working for me. I use a Linux desktop and the LibreWolf browser. For reasons unknown http://hdhomerun.local has never resolved for me but of course using the IP address works fine. Doesn't seem to work with this however. When I supply the IP address, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Failed to load recordings from http://192.168.1.11/recorded_files.json. If your browser console shows a CORS error, you need to open this page from the same network context as the HDHomeRun device, or run it via a local file/server with browser security relaxed for local testing. Details: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

The recordings page opens fine in the browser and can be retrieved with curl and what-not, but I guess since I'm loading the file from the local computer directly, via file:/// syntax, it won't work, right? I assume I need to spin up a local server instead. Are there other ways to make it work?

Thanks for the comments. Well it worked for me "somewhat" It did delete some movies "BUT" now I'm getting duplicate movies names when I bring up url/recorded_files. I haven't dug into it to try to find out what is going on yet but I did try to understand the code and it's difficult for me to follow what it's trying to do. So after I sort out the files that are still there and trying to resolve the problems I probably won't be using this and if the creator of it is no longer in the mix we probably won't hear anything. I just want to say to anyone that wants to use this to go at it slow to minimize risks to your media files.
