For some reason, my recordings directory seems to to fill up my disk. I emptied the folder but a few minutes late, it started to fill again. None of the files show up under recordings, and I have not been recording anything so the folder should be empty. I cannot figure out where the files are coming from, or why they are not being deleted automatically by mythtv. Might somebody be able to shed some light on this?
The directory looks like the following (this is after I cleared it out once, the files had reach >2 gb each in size sometimes):[EMAIL PROTECTED] /media/recordings $ ls -alhtotal 2.5Gdrwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv users

It adds a new one everytime I change the channel, and the longer I leave it there the larger the file gets. It is as if mythtv is always recording, but never adds anything to the database. This is becoming a major problem as it is filling my disk every couple days or so.
