Bug report
Describe the bug
We use zatto with grouped TV series in the recording. Sometimes if you remove a grouped recording you get an error and not all are removed.
In some cases if I remove the recording directory, after that I end in this empty directory without content and I'm not able to switch in the recording directory above. I have to restart it to be able to see the recording directory again.
Expected Behavior
The directory with all recordings of this serie get removed
Actual Behavior
sometimes you stuck in an empty directory
Possible Fix
let the directory disappear and work in removing in background.
To Reproduce
- install zattoo
- set the setting for stacking all series from the same serie in a directory
- remove a directory
- you end in an empty directory
- prex exit, switch to main screen and reboot
