Make sure I understand size requirements for the transcoding directory

I have a Radian RMS-200 (basically an 8 GB NVMe on a PCIe card) in my Emby server that I mount and use as my transcode directory. If I tune my Live TV (via HDHR 4K) to one of the 4K stations and let it play via Emby Theater, I can watch the RMS mount point fill up to 100% and the stream will eventually freeze. Stopping the Live TV stream will empty the transcoding directory, at which point I can restart playing the channel, and it continues to work.

Hi, currently live tv can fill up your drive because the entire stream is stored on disk from the time you start until the time you stop. We do plan to improve this in future updates. Thanks for the feedback.
