Alan_hanley 0 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I've been trying to figure out why I used 2TB of data last month and what's been causing my emby server drive to fill up. Turns out if watching on android app and it crashes the file continues to play on the server. Even if you open the same program and then back out, as usual, it will continue to play the stream forever until it runs out of HD space. I provided you a log but there are no errors except ffmpeg cleanup at server start from the previous crash (Error App: Error in BeginListeningForBroadcasts). I also can't just delete the files as emby locks them. Restarting the server fixes the problem but if I'm currently recording or someone is watching it isn't that feasible. Is there a way to set a limit on transcoding temp files (I assume this is the live tv buffer). Another idea would be to add a are you still watching message every 2 hours if the user doesn't respond in say 5 min kill the process and delete the file. The last idea would be to set a specific folder for this function and files and monitor it periodically. When you hit a threshold say 3gb kill the process and delete the files. Embyserverlog.txt
Luke 42079 Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 hi @@Alan_hanley, thanks for the report. We'll take a look at this. Are you still seeing crashing with the latest android app update?
opty 4 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 i own a android tv box and i believe this happened to me as well i couldn't tell why my NAS storage was filled to the brim but after searching for large files i found several of them in my recording temp files each file was over 200GB in size and on top of that i am being penalized by my ISP (xfinity ) for going over my monthly quota
Luke 42079 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 This has been resolved for the next release of Emby Server. Thanks.
Alan_hanley 0 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Latest update seems to be going well but to be honest I haven't used the Android app as much and started accessing live stress through another app. I'll test on the new release. Edited June 26, 2019 by Alan_hanley
