[mythtv-users] Excessive disk usage in remotecache on Raspberry Pi

One of my raspberry Pi's started acting strangely a few days ago and I
found it had run out of disk space.

The raspberry Pi disk is an 8 GB SD card.

I found that the directory ~/.mythtv/cache/remotecache was using 1.2 GB.
On a normal frontend this may not be an issue but on a Raspberry Pi with
only 8 GB available this can be a problem. This directory has many files
with names like 3707_20161124170000.ts.png.

Can anybody tell me if this directory ever gets cleaned up by the system
or will it go on increasing forever. Do those files get deleted when the
relevant recording is deleted?

Peter
