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.

Hi! Do you know when this improvement will be implemented?
It would be great to be able to select, in addition to the existing path, a maximum transcoding cache size, as well as a system for deleting it if the disk is filling up.

In my case, I'm going to allocate 4GB of RAM to the container for transcoding, which is enough for me since we'll have a maximum of 10 streams at a time.

Thanks!
