Found abandoned recording

everyday bluecherry keep failing the services with adjusting timestamp error and scrolling the logs, post restart, services back to operational but we lost the recordings. i found the logs with this error

I(): Found abandoned recording
I(): Deleting empty media /recordings1/2026/04/06/000004/13-35-59.mp4

I’m not sure if you have the same issue as me, but it would quietly stop recording on all cameras with log entries like Cannot create media directory. A reboot would fix the issue, and then the logs would start out with those Found abandoned recording entries; I assume that’s just cleanup from the original issue.

Anyway, I posted that on here, but got no replies. Cameras stop recording -- "Cannot create media directory" and "Cannot start recording!"

My “fix” has been to add a daily cron job to reboot the server overnight.
