justinrh 44 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Does the DVR use a temp recording folder, or does it record straight into the 'recording path' in the Live TV settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 303 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 In my experience it uses both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 44 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Why would it record to both places at the same time? So, where is the temp folder for DVR recordings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 303 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Why is a good question. It writes to the recording destination path and also to the transcoding temp path while the recording is active. It may have something to do with being able to start watching the recording after it begins and still active. The file used for playback would already be in the temp path but this is only a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 44 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 That is a plausible theory @Q-Droid. Do you know if the temp folder has to have enough disk space to hold an entire recording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 303 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I don't know and haven't tried testing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All live streams get buffered into a temp file, and then if you are also recording, it will also save to the recording destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 44 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Thanks @Luke. Is the temp file created in "Transcoding temporary path"? Does the temp folder have to have enough disk space to hold an entire recording? (I.e, it records the whole thing in the temp folder then transfers to the recording destination.)

cayars 3735 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi, Yes & Yes. Ideally you want the transcoding temp path to be on a disc with plenty of free space as the transcoding folder is used for a few things and needs working room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
