Temp Output Folder

[jimc115]

Completed files not being deleted from the temp output folder after download is complete.
Downloaded approx 50 4gb files and the temp output folder was about 200gb's for Amazon....along with another 200gb's for the actual downloaded files.

Hi Jimc115,

I *think* it might be even a little bit worse that you've realized.

I found that this was happening in two places on my computer on 7/8/22.

Did you also check the following directory for leftover files?

C:\Users\User ID\AppData\Roaming\DVDFab\StreamFab\Localdata\Pict ure\ under the "Streaming Service Name"

Streamfab forum keeps separating and posting the word Pict ure above when I post it as one word. - some quirk?, it should be one word

There were a couple of threads previously that discussed this and per Mona they are aware of this.

I don't know why it wasn't fixed on this release today, because it is a very big problem.

*****

What I did to deal with this until StreamFab fixes this is to create two shortcuts to the following directories on my desktop and periodically delete all the files in there.

(Of course you need to put your User ID name in place of User ID below...

C:\Users\User ID|Documents\DVDFab\StreamFab\ and delete the Temp & Log directories

and

C:\Users\User ID\AppData\Roaming\DVDFab\StreamFab\Localdata\Pict ure\ and delete all the files here


Hope this helps!

Mike

Thanks for the tip Mike....

Looks like I might have to update to my 2tb NVME to stop running out of disc space when I download from the queue unattended. Speed wise, I can download to it a lot faster
than a regular drive...so I hope they fix it soon. I was hoping the latest update would fix it also, but no mention in the notes.
I don't mind the pics as much....I have a feeling they were saved for people using the library function. They don't consume too much.

I see the links also where Mona responded....I searched "temp" and didn't find anything...so guess it's being worked on...
I'll revert back to 5.0.4.0 as suggested.

Thanks Mike for your suggestion. I wasn't aware of this so I checked and sure enough, all of my computers had at least 30+ gigs or more each so I deleted mine as well.

Thanks, guys, I was not aware of this, I actually haven't downloaded anything in weeks, because I am waiting for HBO to be fixed.

Same here. I have a ton of stuff queued up in my HBO list ready to rip when SF fixes the DRM problem.

I have lost track of how long it is, but it is what it is, we have to accept it.
