Carlo 4330 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Some providers have super large guides that can really hog up the space. @Luke is there any reason we need to hold on to this data after it's loaded (guide data that is)? Or maybe better asked, is there any reason to keep anything other than the latest download of the guide when XML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanmurcheson 7 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 I'm strictly using your Emby data, not the data from the IPTV service. Each xml file generated is in the neighbourhood of 160+ megabytes. It adds up very quickly. I did remove a number of the past ones and there was no ill effect.

Carlo 4330 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 OK that's good to know. Which folder did you delete these from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normanmurcheson 7 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) @cayars from the cache/xmltv directory. I left the last two. All had the very same size. Edited August 10, 2021 by normanmurcheson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 That's safe to delete anytime you want. The server will also eventually delete them automatically as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Do you still have an issue at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanmurcheson 7 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 No actual issue with the xml files at this point. Emby does build a new xml file each time I edit anything to do with a channel. I am basically every once in a while deleting the extra xml files. How frequently does the server normally automatically delete the extra xml files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Is there any reason to keep them beyond 1 day if they've already been loaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanmurcheson 7 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 @LukeI have to ask the very same question. All the xml files are identical in size. Is there any difference at all between them? In my case they are currently 179 megs each. That really eats disk space quickly. Thanks a lot.
