Why are recordings in 'xxx/transcoding-temp'

[TMCsw 119]

There are temporary files in the temp dir and the recording dir why?

As shown here:

tmc@z690:/dev/shm/transcoding-temp$ ls -laph /emby/OTA/NFL\ Football\ \(1970\)/NFL\ Football\ 2022_11_20_16_25_00\ *.ts .

They seem to be copies of the recording are these really needed if so can we put them outside or the transcoding-temp dir?

Note, I wanted to use /dev/shm to prevent ssd where, but recordings just keep growing and once the dev is full ALL current recording terminate.

 Or do I have something set wrong? (the same game recording was just to demonstrate the problem)

Hi there, did you configure a recordings folder in emby live tv setup?

[TMCsw 119]

Here are my settings:

[Luke 37009]

OK, the .ts file that goes into transcode temp is the channel buffer, and the recording is sourced from that, as well as any playback of that channel.

We do plan to limit the space that it uses though in upcoming updates.

[TMCsw 119]

Okay, got it.

But does the channel buffer really need to be in transcode temp?

Seams even an old/slow HDD/floppy could handle this?

Wouldn't be easier for emby just to put this elsewhere rather than coding a space limiter?

[Luke 37009]

Where do you think it should go?

[TMCsw 119]

I would like it to be configurable. Just like the Transcoding temporary path is now. If not set it  would default to Transcoding temp.

[Luke 37009]

OK yes that is certainly possible.
