Google Cast flood Recorder with media_position state changes while playing content

[lukakama]

The problem

I just had an SD card totally consumed after some months on a RPI. Trying to digging into the cause, I noticed that the home-assistant_v2.db was a bit too big (1GB with 7 days retention) for the HA load. Looking up into the events table, I got a huge amount of "state_changed" events on my chromecast while playing contents, one each 0.2 - 0.3 seconds, where the only changed attributes are "media_position" and "media_position_updated_at".

These are the records inside the events table while playing a Twitch video for some seconds:

sqlite> select * from events where event_data like '%soggiorno%' order by event_id desc limit 1000;
event_id    event_type     event_data                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 origin      time_fired                  created                     context_id                        context_user_id

I reported it in an improvement ticket https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/101#issuecomment-599068905 , and got a suggestion that at least these excessive position updates should be fixed in the originating component.

Actually, to avoid to wear to death the new SD card, I excluded all the cast media_players from the recorder component, but this is somewhat not ideal.

As a household that has a lot of Twitch on, this has been an issue for me as well. This is swelling my log files to as much as 21GB over the course of a week as multiple chromecasts are in use. It would be nice to disable state updates for changes in "media_position".
