Exclamation BTV Won't Delete Old Live TV Slices

I have been configuring BTV and noticed that it doesn't automatically delete the Timeshifting Buffer Slices. Here are my settings:

Quote:
Beyond TV Video Folder: D:\Beyond TV Recordings
Timeshifting Buffer Slice: 600MB
Timeshifting Buffer Slice Count: 2
Timeshifting Buffer Capacity: 23 minutes at Best (DVD Ready Quality)
Here's what happens...first, it doesn't respect the 2 slice limit. If I change channels, then go back to the channels, it goes above the 2 slice limit (even if I wait 5 minutes). Also, all the new channels get their own slice that is never deleted. Second...it goes above the 600MB limit. BTV neither deletes the old files, nor does it stop it from buffering over 600MB. If I don't delete the files manually, my hard drive will fill up and the program will crash.

Here is what I want my setup to be:

I want it to record the buffers at C:\Beyond TV Recordings (2GB free on C partition) with a total max limit at 1200MB (I can't find where to change the slices to be saved at). I also want to record my shows (I rarely record shows) to my main partition, D:\Beyond TV Recordings (20GB free). I also need to figure out why it isn't automatically deleting the old buffer files so I can stop it from crashing.

Thanks for your help!

Never mind, I fixed it (I have no clue how, but I did).

I just need to know now how I can change the buffer slice location to:

"C:\Beyond TV Recordings"

and keep the video recordings at:

"D:\Beyond TV Recordings"

You can't. The buffer uses the default recording folder

K - will this get defragmented if the buffer's are on my main drive D:? also, is 2 x 600MB a good value, or should I set it to something like 6 x 200MB (i don't want to give more than 1.2GB to the buffer - im on a laptop)?

thanks again!
