Newbie question about temp files

[rochman]

Hi , new user to nextpvr . Here is what im doing . I'm basically using this as the TV watching interface to watch TV via my direct TV genie . Have a cord out of the back of the genie to a hauppauge hvr 1600 into the S video port . Had to do this because because something happened to the Wintv program will not work anymore no matter what i try . I noticed while the nextpvr is using the live tv it creates these big 175 meg files and keeps creating these as long as the program is open and displaying the satellite tv . Is there any way to stop it from creating these big files , basically just shut it off . I dont plan on recording or anything, I can record on the direct tv dvr . The files seem to be deleted once you close the program but just seeing if there is a way to keep it from recording at all and save the wear and tear on the hdd . I have checked all the settings and can't find anything. Also will it just keep creating these files as long as it is open or will it eventually stop ? Thanks for any help.

NextPVR allows you to pause and rewind Live TV. These files are the buffer files that NextPVR needs to provide the pause and rewind function. There is no way to stop NextPVR from creating the files.
