Configuration - Content Management
Drilling down into one of the numbered directories will show video content files similar to the
following:
Assume you wish to delete the recording whose schedule/path you named “Program-1.” You must
remove the schedule name directory and its contents as shown in red below:
/nfs1/nDVR/
Program-1/<Segment Directories & manifest>/<content>.ts
How
CR
Content
is
Deleted
Continuous Record content can only be deleted automatically, the method of which is performed
based on how you have configured the global or schedule-based deletion parameters as defined
below.
CR
Storage
Parameters
These parameters can be found in the
CONFIGURATION > GLOBAL CONFIG
tab, or via the
CONFIGURATION > SHARED/UNIQUE ASSETS ->
ADD
menu on a per-schedule basis (which
overrides what is configured in the Global container).
•
Segment Directory Size (minutes)
—A segment directory contains individual content fragments,
which include transport stream chunks and manifest files. When you set this value for a duration
(for example, 30 minutes) the size of the segment directories that contain the content fragments
will not exceed the equivalent of 30 minutes (or whatever value is set).
•
Segment Unreferenced Age (days)
—If there have been no assets created from any of the individual
content fragments in the segment directory, the entire directory will be deleted after the number of
days you specify (for example, 7 days). If one or more of the content fragments has been
referenced as an asset, the entire segment directory is considered referenced and follows the
deletion rules for the
Asset Max Age
parameter.
•
—If an asset has been created from any of the individual content fragments in
the segment directory, the segment directory associated with the asset will be deleted after the
number of days you specify (for example, 90). Setting the
Asset Max Age
to a period longer than
the
Segment Unreferenced Age
will ensure any unreferenced segments are deleted before asset-
referenced segments.
