    Default Auto/Manual clean up of transcoding folder

    Hi guys!

    Just a quick wish...

    I allocate 100MB to the transcoding folder and I always seem to have issues with it filling and not transcoding something that I want to watch...

    Any chance to have a button to clean X number of files based on oldest date?

    I hate going into the folder and just deleting things in a hurry as I want to watch something quick!

    Anyways, keep up the good work!

    Geez, I hope this is a typo and you meant 100GB instead of 100MB, otherwise I would be surprised if anything got transcoded correctly for playback.

    Mezzmo will delete the oldest file when the transcoding folder is full to make room for a new transcode so this behavior is already implemented.

    Just want to check - if I manually transcode a file it doesn't allow the transcode to complete though if the folder is nearly full...
    I believe the auto transcode and delete works fine, just not if I choose to manually transcode a file in advance...

    Transcoding manually should work the same as auto transcoding unless disk space is getting too low then the transcode will fail.

    And that's the problem I have - I have to delete old files before I can transcode new ones if the space is nearly full.

    So, back to my request - an option to manually clean a portion of the transcode folder either by date or device would be helpful in this situation rather than blindly deleting a semi-randomly named folder because I'm in a hurry to watch something...
