Remove local movies added to channels database?

How do you remove local movies files from Channels without deleting the movie files?

#2

No way to do this at the moment while the Local Content feature is still in beta

#3

Curious. If you remove the "folder" does that remove all the movies in that folder from the database?

I currently have 2 folders being monitor my Channels. I assumed if I just deleted the folder they would be removed from the database.

If you mean remove the folder to scan in the web UI I’ve done that. The database contents persist.

#5

Did you remove the source shortly after adding it?

If removed while still scanning, items remain in the database due to a bug.

If you add the path, wait for the scan to complete, then remove the path, all imported recordings from that path will also be deleted from the database.

I'll give that a whirl over the next 24 hours and report back.

Thanks,

Re-adding the local folder to DVR and letting it fully sync, then removing it from the DVR web interface did clear out all the local content. Thanks.
