Channels DVR Logs taking up lots of space

[bnanewbie]

Hey Yall - I recently upgraded my mac mini to the lateset OS, Ventura. When I did that, I did not realize it was going to cause me issues with the 8TB ext hard drive that I used for recording my tv shows on Channels DVR...I originally setup that drive as NTSF...and found Ventura does not include a NTSF read/write driver or whatever...to make a very long story short, I moved what I could move off to other hard drives...so I was able to save most of my stuff....I then reformated the hard drive as a MAC ext hard drive, which I probably should have just done from the beginning.....

I say that to say, my Mac Mini is a 500GB hard drive...and for some reason the Channels DVR logs appear to be taking up a lot of space...see screen shot attached as an example....is there a way to delete these or do a cleanup via a setting from the server settings?

Those are what's known as "debug" recording logs.
The big ones are from TVE and M3U recordings.
They are deleted when the recording is deleted.
You can safely delete them.

The only reason you need to keep them is if you had an issue with a recording and the devs ask for the debug recording log.

P.S. It's NTFS (not NTSF) filesystem

Got it. Thanks for the help. I’m surprised it didn’t quote it as nsfw haha.
