Always deleting parent folder when recording without folders
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:19 pm
Hello,
I've been using Argus for about a week now, having tried a few other options/combinations, I've found this to be the best from stability/reliability with 1 possible bug unless I'm missing a trick...
I'm running a single seat machine on Argus 2.2 with MP 1.5 as front-end. The behavior/issue is the same with or without MP, as it originates from Argus.
As you know, the default recording format in Scheduler is to put videos in folders ("title\...") with metadata file (.arg) populated separately. I'm running on a single seat machine with NTFS so there is no need/benefit of a separate .arg file. (or is there?)
If/when I change the format so files are recorded directly as a single file (no "\" in the format) immediately under my recording folder (Public/Videos/Argus TV), this works until the last existing file is deleted. When the last file is deleted, it deletes the recording folder (Public/Videos/Argus TV)- without which, unless/until it is manually created, no more recordings can occur.
Is there a benefit I'm missing in having the default folder for each recording? It just seemed unnecessary to me.
