I have a late 2015 MBP, Catalina, 1TB SSD.  I installed NextPVR on it using the suggested procedure including .NET.  Everything seems to work well, I had a lot of space left on my SSD.  I record shows to an external USB drive.  I thought everything was working well, but recently my MBP tells me my SSD is full.  Initially, I though that was strange but deleted old stuff I didn't need since I was in a hurry and had recorded a bunch of stuff to the SSD.  However, now I think there is a problem because I can watch my disk usage grow in Finder - Users, My User Account - the file size and number of files just constantly increase.
Not sure how to stop the NPVR on the MBP so I haven't tried that; one time I had to reboot the MBP and I had a hard time figuring out how to restart NPVR, not sure I did it right, maybe that is the problem?
Not very familiar with Mac.  Perhaps I should install NPVR via Docker - not familiar with that either.
Help/Ideas?

Filling up with which files exactly?

NextPVR certainly creates files in normal use, like log files, and live tv buffer files, and some temporary web streaming files if you're viewing in the web browser. The log files are never particularly large. The live tv buffer files will often hold 20 minutes or so of content (or more/less if configured for something other than the default), but these files are deleted when you stop live tv, or change channels.

Thanks, everyone, I figured it out. The good news, it is not NextPVR's fault. The problem is caused by Emby. I have the NextPVR extension on Emby and made the wrong assumption that the NextPVR was causing the problem since the problem didn't start until I set up added the NextPVR plug-in. However, Emby is actually downloading the EPG data and therein is the issue. The EPG data is gzip and Emby is not handling this correctly. Evidently this was an issue several years ago but still not fixed.
