So I record TV with TVHeadend and some of the recordings (like news) we only keep for 3-4 days, then automatically get deleted.

Unfortunately, TVHeadend can only record to one folder and moving files around is a headache. It would be a waste to copy them from Cache to array nightly and then delete them in couple days. Can I somehow tell the mover to ignore specific folder inside a Share?

 

EDIT: I still have plenty of other recordings that need to be moved from Cache to Shares.

 

SOLUTION: I did try the mover plugin but I could not get it to work right. Then I discovered I was wrong about the TVHeadend - it car record to different directories (new recording profile for each). So I created a share with "Cache only" and will be using that for the time being.

Change the temporary share to be cache only then Mover will not move them.

You did not understand me, missed "some of the recordings". I still need to move the rest so your suggestion is not solution.

Ah I see, have you looked at Mover Tuner plugin to see if that has an option to omit a folder?
