For some reason, my recordings directory seems to to fill up my disk. I emptied the folder but a few minutes late, it started to fill again. None of the files show up under recordings, and I have not been recording anything so the folder should be empty. I cannot figure out where the files are coming from, or why they are not being deleted automatically by mythtv. Might somebody be able to shed some light on this?
<br><br>The directory looks like the following (this is after I cleared it out once, the files had reach >2 gb each in size sometimes):<br><br>mythtv@mythtv /media/recordings $ ls -alh<br>total 2.5G<br>drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv users

<br>It adds a new one everytime I change the channel, and the longer I leave it there the larger the file gets. It is as if mythtv is always recording, but never adds anything to the database. This is becoming a major problem as it is filling my disk every couple days or so.
