Closed masavini closed 4 years ago

masavini commented 4 years ago

hi, i hope this question is not too silly... where is acestream buffer saved? i mean, if i leave vlc player paused for a couple of hours and then i start to play it back where does it read from? thanks!

Good question @masavini

It's kept in the "state dir" - hence why I have a startup script that uses a temp file system as well:

https://github.com/magnetikonline/docker-acestream-server/blob/f78e83bd9fb9392dfb9bfd8f8692a8bbc1ae1d19/run-tmpfs.sh#L6

Hope that helps!

thank you, but are you sure? could you please write the full path of the buffer folder?

bacause the last night i tried to du the state_dir mount point (a spare disk i use to mount various caches) and found it occupying 27MB after a 20 mins pause of a 1080p video...

sorry @masavini - yeah I haven't looked at this project for a while. But all the times I've used it - video cache was building up here.
