ryandavidg 30 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Perhaps one of those recurring errors causing log files to grow rapidly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 This is most likely the log files. Can you look and see exactly what is taking the space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EODCrafter 180 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 If Op has Live Tv it could be this which you already addressed...../var/lib/cache/xmltv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 It could also be transcoding temp so we need to see what is actually taking the space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODCrafter 180 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) It could also be transcoding temp so we need to see what is actually taking the space. How would I set this to google drive? in the Server Dashboard? I run Emby on a google cloud 10Gb disk and it keeps failing because the disk is full. I don't think i have a option with the .xml cache do I? Sry to hijack @@paulsavo EDIT: Found it...I think...I will test! EDIT: Doesn't work...too much latency...I will need a bigger disk. (20Gb seems to be Perfect!) Edited September 8, 2018 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Don't even think of trying to use a cloud drive for transcoding. Personally I wouldn't use a network drive for this either. Get yourself a fast USB thumb drive or USB external HDD and use that for transcoding drive if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Did you find out which folders are using the most space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsavo 2 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 The issue seems to be that when i sync to my google drive or even to an external device, it creates a sync folder on the server itself and this is eating up all my space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The files must be converted first, then uploaded to the cloud drive. Like stated above, the best option is to plug in some SD or USB memory and specify this as the sync temp folder. But should you encounter a situation where the temporary sync files don't get cleaned after they are successfully transferred to the cloud, then please report!
