PWM001 0 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I have a Hauppauge WinTV10 dual tuner. When I watch Live TV with Emby Theater, it fills up my drive in this folder: C:\Users\Public\Videos\Pause Buffer. If I restart the server or go to the home page in Emby Theater, it will clean these up, but if I don't the drive fills up and everything crashes. There is a setting in the WinTV 10 software for this folder, but it does nothing. Every 10 minutes of watching creates a file of about 800 MB - 1 GB. I have read about this happening to someone else, but I never saw a resolution. Another issue is when I go from watching a channel for a few hours and back to the guide, the guide does not refresh so I am at the point in time when I first started watching the channel. If I go to the home page and then to the guide, the time goes to the correct point. I am using the latest version of Emby Server 4.5.4.0.

Carlo 4561 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 He didn't say, but I'm guessing it's Emby via WinTV to his tuner. Others have this same problem.

pwhodges 2014 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 When I was using a Hauppauge tuner, I set up a regular scheduled job to empty that directory. It did the job with no ill effects. Paul

Not that I know of. It appears Emby is using the WinTV 10 software somehow. Should I uninstall WinTV10? Does Emby need it?

Should I uninstall WinTV10? Does Emby need it? No, if using a Hauppauge tuner you need the WinTV software. This won't be a requirement in the future with the new Live TV in development but for now it is needed. You'll have to keep an eye on this folder for now.
