Newbie Question

Channels DVR Server
#1

Hi,

I am brand new to channels so please forgive my ignorance. Is there a good place in the forum or elsewhere for me to learn about the more in-depth features of channels? For example, to understand how deletion works once a movie is watched and how this differs or not from the recording passes.

If the best way is to search the forums regarding individual questions, that's fine too, but I thought I would check to see if there is a good starting place to understand the DVR better.

Thanks!
Sandi

Unfortunately, we're still working on in depth documentation. We understand and apologize that this stuff is sort of a mystery right now.

For now, you can just ask all your questions here and the community or us, the developers, will be happy to answer anything for you!

Welcome to Channels!

Right now, the only way things are automatically pruned is based on Passes. You set your rules for each Pass. Movies don't have passes so they basically stick around in your library forever. You'd have to manually delete them.

There is no automatic deletion based on storage space as of yet. We hope to get that in there this year.

Thanks so much for the quick answer to both my documentation and movie deletion question. I appreciate it and look forward to using channels :).

I'm a fellow newbie (less than a week). You'll find that the developers are very responsive.

Welcome!
