Is there any way to see, in the upcoming recordings screen in Mythfrontend<br>or Mythweb, when the disk space will run out given the current schedule<br>and recording profiles?</blockquote><div><br>
No, there's nothing like that to my knowledge. However, if Myth
is set up correctly you should NEVER run out of disk space.
That's what auto-expire is for. If you're like me there are some
shows you record because you really want to watch them and there are
other shows you record as filler (like Cops, Simpsons, Blind Date,
etc). I set all those 'filler' type shows to auto-expire and the
shows I really want (Modern Marvels, Law and Order, etc) to not
auto-expire but to have an episode limit (i.e. no more than 6 episodes
of Law and Order). Once the episode limit is reached Myth won't
record any more showings of that program until an episode is deleted
(or it will delete the oldes episode and replace that with the newest
one, depends how you set it up).<br>

It takes a little bit of setup time up-front and a little bit of
calculating how often your favorite shows are on and how much total
disk space you have, but once you get it set up correctly you should
never have to worry about disk space unless you start archiving large
numbers of shows.<br>

i.e. sitting on a secure network<br>somewhere with no internet access). :)<br><br>/ Niklas<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
