TV Streaming / Temp / Ram-Disk

[dante`afk]

Heya,

Im using a Ramdisk ( 4 GB ) for Temp Files and Logging which Windows is creating. So the Windows Temp directories are redirected to my Ramdisk ( Z:)

so since some hours im watching tv through vlc, a windows notification bumped up and showed me, Z: is full. ok im browsing through Z: and find a 3,9gb file of HTTA07F.tmp. I couldnt delete this file, so i am rebooting and the file is gone.

streaming again through vlc and watching the temp-folder i can continuous see a file growing and growing with the time. if i stop vlc, also the file stops to grow.

so im pretty sure this temp file is beeing created by vlc.

how can i redirect the temp files vlc is making on my harddisk without changing the overall-temp-directories for windows which are directed to my ramdisk

?

thanks

using:
vlc 0.9.8a
windows 7 rc
asus p5q-e
hd4870x2
e8400
2x ocz vertex ssd / 2x wd caviar blue

You didn't accidentally set Timeshift or Record on?

No i didnt, i think... where can i see this ?

Im using the Dreamboxmanagersuite for tv streaming, as i know this uses vlc for streaming

[VLC_help]

Both options can be found from Tools -> Preferences... and Input & Codecs. They should be off by default. Is there any way you could check out what transcoding options Dreamboxmanagersuite uses (and is it based on VLC 0.9.x)?

Timeshift is off.

Dreamboxmanagersuite is based on VLC 0.8.x

This problem suddently appeared i dont know why. i was using it for long time with 0.8x and 0.9x and now suddently it makes my harddisk full....

i also redirected the temp directories to my harddisk with the same problem

This only happens with Dreamboxmanagersuite?

[dante`afk]

yes

[VLC_help]

Maybe someone using the Dreamboxmanagersuite could figure out the command it uses to start VLC. That way we could possibly pinpoint the issue.
