Live TV buffer files not deleting

[Ashjg]

I guess this is the same issue that got reported over on the Kodi forum, http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=258533

When I originally saw the above forum post, I had a quick look at the location where my live TV is stored and was relieved to see that it was empty and I wasn't having the same issue!!!

However!!! This morning I get a phone call from a rather disgruntled wife! Saying she can't watch TV, returning from work, I have a look and eventually I narrow it down ... My Live TV drive is rammed to the hilt with .ts files.... I delete them, and run a couple of tests and everything works as expected e.g Live TV creates a .ts file which grows as the live TV runs and then deletes after the stream is stopped...

I've added a line to the postepgupdate.bat file that deletes all *.ts files I the liveTV folder, which I guess should stop this happening in the future...

I'm not sure how these files got there, very bizarre ! But I'd thought I'll report this just in case others come across the same issue...

If you switch the "TimeShift" mode in the "misc." settings in NPVR from EPG Based to Time Based It helps this situation. (still leaves a file occasionally but NOT near as often)

Thanks Ex70s - Yeah I have already got "TimeShift" selected, I saw your response over on the Kodi Forum.... I guess this is the reason I posted here, the strange thing is I cant replicate it.... I guess there's a "user behaviour" that makes the PVR leave these files behind.... although the simple script that I have should now take care of the issue and stop any divorces (certainly in the short term!) from happening!!!
