JimH:
We published several bad builds that should be immediately replaced with 28.0.105 or higher.

Bad ones were 28.0.100 through 104.  The problem was fixed in 28.0.105.

It only affects TV recordings but it can cause loss of old recordings if you use our jtv format (not ts) for recordings.

If you don't use MC to record TV, this problem won't affect you.

I sincerely apologize for any problems this may have caused.

JimH:
Here's what Yaobing found:

There was this change in 28.0.100

--- Code: ---5. NEW: Old time-shifting folders for non-DirectShow TV types (i.e. DMS and IPTV) can now be cleaned up (either manually or automatically).

--- End code ---
which cleans up time-shifting folders for DMS and IPTV channels, but I wonder if it caused issue in traditional time-shifting folders. ...  was meant to clean up non-DirectShow time-shifting folders erroneously cleaned up JTV folders.

It happened only if  "Automatically clean up time-shifting folders daily" option was on or if you manually do “Clean up time-shifting folders…”

Betelgeus:
So, I lost over 500gbs of recorded shows, some very irreplaceable. I had just installed a new SSD for my media a couple weeks ago and was getting ready to pull it thinking it was the problem. I even checked here earlier today for a new build. Thought I was losing my mind along with my recordings. Is there any way to recover those deleted shows?

jmone:
Stop writing any new files to the drive and try a Data Recovery Program.  This is what rpalmer68 did (though some recordings has parts that had already been overwritten).  I don't know what program he used but you could PM him?  Good luck.

bogdanbz:
Microsoft has their own deleted files recovery tool available on their store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-file-recovery/9n26s50ln705

I don't know how good it is, never used it, but thought of mentioning it, maybe it helps.
