Re: VDR not cleaning .del directories

Ok, I did some debugging.

First of all, I noticed something weird that perhaps is not even
related to this problem. In vdr.c there is a check:

 if ((Now - LastInteract) > ACTIVITYTIMEOUT

if softhhddevice is detached or suspended, "Now - LastInteract" is
always zero, and vdr can never enter housekeeping tasks. This must be
a bug in softhddevice?

But, with softhddevice attached, housekeeping starts after 60 seconds.
However, now with the added debug, I could not reproduce the original
problem. :) VDR always deletes my recordings nicely. But now I have
the debug enabled, in case it happens again.
