tilani 0 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hello everyone, I’ve had emby for years and have struggled with this problem since implementing the live tv functionality. I have a host of devices accessing emby (Rokus, Apple TVs, shields) and for some reason emby does not clear the temp folder after a user exits the app. I have confirmed a complete stop of the stream and exiting of the app on at least the Apple TV does not result in the deletion of the temp transcode file, so I don’t think it’s related to the way users exit the app. This forces me to have to restart the computer (emby restart still doesn’t clear the folder) which I really can only do if I am home. recently, I’ve noticed that emby does not seem to release tuners all of the time either. I’ve had two incidents of “no tuners available” in the last week where a restart of the server corrected the problem. thoughts? live tv provided through 2xhdhomerun primes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect a fresh server launch to purge any left over transcoder temp files from previous sessions before the shutdown/exit. Does this only happen with DVR Live TV ? Are you able to reproduce easily with debug logging enabled and transcoder temp directory listings during streaming and then later on after stopping streaming and restarting the server - together with the server logs 15 hours ago, tilani said: recently, I’ve noticed that emby does not seem to release tuners all of the time either.

Would need to capture logs for when this arises - and probably again would need debug logging enabled and details of which devices streaming from the tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your case that would likely make tuners unavailable. Edited May 7 by BillOatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepinacosplus 6 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I think this issue can be easily adressed by adding a option to force emby or ffmpeg to stop the stream and clear temp folder if it is more than 3 hours long (for example) or a custom time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
