This seems wrong -- is there something I should be doing differently?<br><br>I found 33GB of .mpg.old files in my recordings directory, with file names like 1110_20060911212000.mpg.old. These are recordings I have transcoded, either to a lower quality setting, or lossless MPEG2 after building a cutlist, in the past week (19-23 September). Needless to say, this saved me a lot of disk space, and my older recordings are no longer getting whacked by autoexpire. However, I wish I'd known that I need to clean up this directory before losing recordings.
<br><br>Does mythtranscode clean up after itself? Is there a setting somewhere to force this cleanup? Do I just need to RTFM? 8^)<br><br>Thanks.<br clear="all"><br>-=-=-<br>FYI: About my (combined frontend & backend) system
