Author Topic: Orphan Content on DSS200 Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 10-27-2015 01:32 PM                    I thought this had been discussed but I can't find it. Dolby DSS-200 (4.3.5.13) I deleted a movie but it's still listed in content and on the build menu. Content shows it < 1GB. "Purge" under server tools did not get rid of it. It will let you add it to a show. I don't see anything related via FTP though I may just not be recognizing it. Is this going to go away on the next reboot? (I have not had time yet so I realize this post may be a little premature.)  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 10-27-2015 02:57 PM                     Reboot and good luck. Why Dolby can't make the database more robust, escapes me.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-27-2015 03:37 PM                        Might the following work? - In Show Manager, right-click on the DCP that refuses to die, select "Properties" and note the first few characters of the UUID - Connect to the DSS200 using an FTP client - Go to the "GeneratedPackages" folder - Look for the folder with the same number as the UUID, then delete it - Refresh the DCP listing in Show Manager, and see if that has nuked it. If not, reboot.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I like Dolby's but I have never seen anything like this on a Doremi. At least it would be nice to have an option to say "delete the database and rebuild it" (no, the unconfigure script does not qualify as it also removes GPIO's or serial - yes I know they are easy-ish to back up but I'd like an easy way to just rest the thing without having to worry about losing settings!) Or maybe a script to check the database integrity. It cannot be so hard to achieve!  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 10-27-2015 05:48 PM                    I didn't see it in FTP but was probably not looking in the right place. Reboot took care of it. It's been up for at least a couple of months so long overdue for the periodic reboot. If that's the worst thing that happens with the not-exactly-recommended 4.3.5.13 that's not so bad. (Appendages crossed.)  |  IP: Logged
