Endless "transcode-temp" usage, while watching Live TV.

[TJDai 1]

I don't know if this is a known behavior and if it's not an issue, or any idea on how to limit it:

    While watching LiveTV, there are temp files (TS) created by Emby server in the "transcode-temp" folder.

    Although the "Live stream buffer size" in the "Live TV - Advanced" setting was set to 1 hour, the number of temp files increase endlessly after 1 hour of Live TV watching.

 

I found this out was because a live camera linked to the same NAS could not record anymore, its storage space is on the same disk as the Emby "transcode-temp" located.

And the strange thing caused the "no space" is that the Live TV was played 2 days continuously in the background, I didn't intend to do so... none of my Emby clients was all the way on that Live TV channel in that 2 days. Maybe the last TV streaming process didn't cut off properly...?

I had to restarted Emby server to stop it. it's about 20GB/hour for my case.

And I verified it by playing 1 hour Live TV after restart, the "endless" appeared.

Anyway, most important what I want is how to limit the "transcode-temp" folder usage. 

Server is now latest 4.9.3.0.

Thanks.
