That will identify the files that are not in your recordings list. Useful as part of the cleanup.
I believe the recommended process is to add these orphaned files to MythVideo. You won’t have any metadata or the ability to delete them once watched, but you will be able to watch them.
You could restore the database from one of the backups? I know I have mysql backups of mythconverg in one of my recordings storage groups, so maybe you do too and they survived your upgrade.
