Thank you sub!

Hmmmm, does not appear to be working the UNC path has over two terabytes of space free while the C Drive has about 500 Gigs and there are at least two recordings since I upgraded. I've checked the share any the everyone group has both read and write[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Logs attached!

I just double checked here, and it is working for me.

I'm using it against a UNC path on a Windows server. I'm guessing your NAS is behaving differently. I'm thinking maybe the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() API I'm using is not managing to get the free space from your NAS server, so the call fails, and this volume is not taken into consideration when deciding which drive to choose.

This patch will log if it's unable to get the free disk space from the volume.

My NAS box is a Windows 10 Pro box, should not be an issue. I've installed the patch and will let you know what happens.

Caught two recordings early on that started, an episode of Cheers and a movie called Haunted High, both went to the C drive

I think I can see what is happening, and will take a look at fixing tomorrow.

It looks like you are recording every hour of TV. That seems particularly odd usage. Is this for media monitoring, or some similar activity?

I record every movie on two different channels, I like having choices and diversity in my movies! Smile

Have you had a chance yet to take a look and see what's going on?
