Keeps accumulating temp files

Windows 10
Kodi 16
NextPVR 3.9.2 feeding 5 TV on my network

Every so often I get a Windows message that I am running out of space on my hard drive.

My c:\temp folder gets loaded sometimes with up to 100 gigs of .ts files that I must delete manually.

Is there a setting that prevents those files from accumulating?

Thanks

You'd normally expect up to four files per activate stream, covering approximately a 25 minute preiod. As it goes to create the 5th, the oldest is deleted. When you stop the stream, any remaining files for that stream would be deleted.

If you delete those files, then test the most basic scenario, where just one client watches a single channel, do you see the correct behaviour as described above, or does it just continue to accumulate files?

Hmmmm ... just saw this post and had been thinking about this. Recently I had been watching live TV via KODI and the NPVR plugin. Exited out of KODI and didn't watch TV again for a few days. The next time I looked at my PC, Windows was warning me that I was out of disk space. Weird, because I have my TV shows record to secondary drives. Only my live time-shift buffer path goes to my C: drive. It seems that when I exited out of KODI, the time-shift buffer recorded continuously again and again consecutive 30 min segments of live TV to my time-shift record path, until my C:drive was full.

That is pretty much what happened to me.
I wasn't able to determine which setup was causing the issue..
I was able to delete all but 2 files.. (files in use).
After a reboot, I was able to delete the last two files and the issue corrected itself. Odd.

In time shifting mode if you don't stop playback that will happen since the server can't tell the difference between the exit and a pause. Not sure if Kodi sends pvr.nextpvr a shutdown notification or not.

I honestly don't recall if I paused or stopped the playback. This only happened once. But I'll be certain to pay attention the next time Smile

I found the same thing - if Kodi crashed or exited without first pressing Stop, then NPVR will continue to fill up the disk with .ts files.

I have set up a scheduled task to at 03:00 every day to run a .bat file with the following contents:

Code:
Forfiles -p Z:\ServerFolders\LiveTVBuffer\ -s -m *.* -d -3 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"


This will delete all files which are more than 3 days old.
