Title: Extra file pointers in database - how to remove?
Post by: wortmanb on February 07, 2008, 02:13:24 am

I tried to force some updating in my database by manually running the UpdateMedia script, but I passed it a directory string beginning with a dot ("."), and now these (and other) files are lingering in my database and I can't delete them through the usual Orbiter menu mechanisms.

Any thoughts on how to remove these?  Thanks!

Try navigating to the folders you don't want in the admin site and use the Delete File option there - then let me know if it deleted all your actual media as well as the database entries.... I did the same thing, and want to know the answer :)

Just kidding of course ;)

I can't navigate to them that way (believe me, I tried), I think because the paths are like "./movies/file.avi" and I haven't figured out how to get them to show up in the media files sync pages.  I expect this is going to take some SQL code and I just don't want to do things halfway and completely bollocks the database....
