Hi,

On my system, disk usage is always about 99%, because VDR cares about
deleting old recordings, when needed.

But when editing a recording, the automatic deletion fails:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

How could I make VDR delete old recordings, when low on disk space
because of an editing process please?

In the file cutter.c locate the line

  AssertFreeDiskSpace(-1);

in the function cCuttingThread::ProcessSequence(). Chnage the '-1'
to whatever value between 1 and 100 you like. Note, though, that this
will remove old recordings with priorities up to the given value minus
one.
