However you avoid that issue with the current release is how you avoid it with the new method. The SAME AMOUNT of space will be use collectively for Live TV and recorded shows as the current release. It's whatever you set it to. Seems to me the only difference is that it will actually use the space you tell it to which sounds more reasonable to me.

How about, then, a simple "Autoexpire LiveTV Recordings After Viewing" that just simply means they get autoexpired as soon as you change the channel or stop viewing LiveTV? That doesn't seem like it would burden anyone in terms

The answer here basically boils down to: You're thinking of your MythTV box like a computer and not like a DVR. Why do you care how much disk space is being used currently by recordings that you cannot see from the UI and will be removed automatically to make space for other recordings?

Because MythMusic, MythDVD, MythVideo, and MythGallery have no way to gain extra space on the disk? Myth is a whole lot more than just recording TV. I've not mucked around with the new LiveTV code but I can understand why some folks would be concerned about drive space.
