Thanks. I use Kodi as a front end, with Emby as the library manager. I know this is a bit convoluted, but I don't really like Emby as a recording engine (works fine, just not much flexibility). Currently I am using JRiver MC to record on Windows, and it works fine, but I really want to move to Linux for stability.
I also have a lot of automated processes using the Emby API that get triggered after watching an episode (but only on a select few episodes). And...to make matters more complicated, I record TV from 2 locations (one, my office, that uses HDHomerun Primes/Cable TV, and 1, my home, that uses OTA), the remote location transfers the episodes over OneDrive.
What are the realistic issues I would face by deleting the episodes outside of TVH? Is there any type of API call I could do that would 'clean' the database?
