 |

I know for me personally this is ideal - a torrent catcher dumps shows automatically to a computer, and they are deleted once I transfer them to the TIVO - making a nearly maintenance-free setup.
From another thread:

Although I couldn't get pytivo to delete via a remote control command, I did set it up to do the next best thing: Delete from the source after a successful transfer. A simple change to the video.py script and now it deletes the file from the computer after a successful upload to the TIVO.
| Code: | elapsed = time.time() - start
rate = int(count / elapsed) / 1024
logger.info('[%s] Done sending "%s" to %s, %d bytes, %.2f KBps' %
(time.strftime('%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S'), fname,
tivo_name, count, rate))
# Delete file after sucessful transfer. Claims "in use" if xfer aborted. MATT
os.remove(fname)
logger.info('Deleted "%s" from the computer' % fname)
|
If the transfer is aborted via the tivo or hitting Q in the pytivo console, the file is still seen as being "in-use" (in windows, anyway, I think by transcode.py) and as a result it will not delete.
Crude, yes. Bad programming practices, definitely. Effective? Very.
Maybe enabling this type of activity as an option from the web UI or config file can be put in future releases?
I used the wcmbrine release: wmcbrine-79ec1693bf877799655612b079f568bc5deafedd.zip from 3-13-2010. |

Updated: If files are located in a specific directory they will not be deleted.
| Code: |
logger.info('[%s] Done sending "%s" to %s, %d bytes, %.2f KBps' %
(time.strftime('%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S'), fname,
tivo_name, count, rate))
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# Delete file after sucessful transfer. Claims "in use" if xfer aborted, so file will not be deleted. MATT
# The below works properly. Doesn't delete the file if it is inside the dirpath location.
fullfilepath = fname
dirpath,filename = os.path.split(fullfilepath)
if dirpath == 'Y:\keep':
logger.info('Did not delete file from the computer, was located inside %s' % dirpath)
else:
os.remove(fname)
logger.info('Deleted %s from the computer' % filename)
