Remotly deleting files

[Tassadar 0]

I have Emby server installed and running from a windows 10 machine perfectly.  My question is this... are we able to delete files remotely (in my case, using Roku)? 

 

When I try to delete a video file, a confirmation window shows up and when I click on "yes", it blinks, but file is still there.  Then I tried marking the file as "watched" and deleting, which it appears to do so, but while the file is gone from Roku, it is still sitting on the server machine.  Under ideal circumstances, when deleting a file, I would like it completely removed even from the server. 

 

Any advice appreciated

The official roku app cannot delete anything except liveTV recordings.

 

If you use the blue neon app on your roku this will allow delete from your library.

Thanks for the prompt response speechles.  The files I am attempting to delete are actually recorded liveTV files, but they were recorded by Hauppauge's WinTV 8.  Does not mean I will not be able to delete them as Emby is not recording them?

Try the blue neon app and see if this deletes them. If it does, and the official app does not, then you are correct. You can have both the blue neon app and official app share the homescreen on your roku.

Thanks again speechles.  I have installed the recommended app, will try tonight and will post my results tomorrow.
