Can someone explain dvr file retention period?

Added by Al Bundy over 7 years ago

What happens after the period?
Will tvheadend delete the files automatically?

Where can I setup the retention period for "DVR configuration"?

What means maintained space?
Do I have to setup a size?
Will recordings be deleted too if another recording needs more space?
When is the retention period checked?
Periodically, before or while recording...?

Thanks

Al

I have been asking myself the same question. I was not able to find any clues in the wiki, documentation, forums or FAQ.

What happens if the disk limit is reached? Do new recordings get suspended, or are old recordings auto-removed (even if the DVR retention period has not been reached yet)?

Basically what I want is keep recordings for 3 months, or until disk space limit is reached and then purge them oldest first. Whatever happens first should trigger the delete.
