Moved HDD to different HDR Fox T2 but recordings won't play

[Ian Manning]

Ah hang on I was mistaken - the decrypted show must have already been in the square-bracketed folder when I renamed it. Subsequent recordings have all bypassed the square-bracketed folder, and have gone into a newly auto-created folder (without square brackets), so are continuing to be decrypted. It looks as if I can't direct new recordings to the square-bracketed folder name, and hence can't exclude them from auto-decryption?

In the Webif Recording List there's an option to change the destination folder for your recording: use the 'more' button at the rightmost end. The custom destination will be displayed under the recording name.

Thanks for that. I just had another thought....will square-bracketed folders also be excluded from the auto-expire process? (I want to continue with auto-expiry, but not with auto-decrypt, for these folders). Basically they're news programmes which I only need 1 day of, but I don't want to waste resources decrypting them as I will only ever watch them on the Humax box.

I think auto-expire will be inhibited.

You could set up a 'Process folders' rule for Sweeper in the containing ('My Video'?) directory to delete recordings in its [subfolders] if they are too old.

I believe this facility is only for a series - individual recordings can not be changed (a while back there was a request to see if this could be made to happen but it has not been progressed).

Apparently so: the rsv.db entry for a one-off recording doesn't have a value in the destination folder field, and presumably the internal Humax TV blob data structures manipulated by RTS are missing this field.

But OP's recordings that should not be auto-processed are indeed series.

Folders prefixed "[" (the trailing "]" is optional) are automatically excluded from default and recursive auto-processing, but that doesn't stop them being marked explicitly for auto-processing. So you could set expire on that specific folder.
