Automatic Free Up Space#271

An option where you can setup a maximum space size on a disk. When the size is reached, delete the oldest recordings.

Yes please! It is much more confortable to record everything and review it later to clip it. But if i don’t want my hard drive to be full after a week this feature would be very helpful!

Please do it, then it will be complete :D

Yes please!!

We are working on this!

Thanks for the feedback all. Can you attach your medal usernames? I’d like to see how all of you use Medal, how often you upload, etc.

I’m @Vigory on Medal

Sure, I’m @SiiNerGia . Thanks for hearing!

I also use it mostly to share neat highlights and fun bugs with friends. Occasionally to show of a broken build in some game.

I use Medal to record Games, extract highlights (or single rounds) to forward them to my cutter

Only very strange fails will be forwarded to Medal (but since a long time I am not able to use it, because of a full disk. I disabled the complete Record)

As someone who recently migrated from Lowkey.gg this is a must have for me since I record at high quality and my captures become very large.

Having to be mindful that my storage needs to be manually cleared out frequently due to the size of my sessions is quite a nuisance.

Yes please we need this feature

There is an outstanding issue with regards to folder-mounted NTFS partitions which may impact Medal’s ability to manage space correctly. It seems that it bases the free space off the base partition, and does not accurately determine when the recording location is full (had to manually clear out recordings recently due to this bug). Would this also impact this feature?
