Failed to record livestream (disk quota exceeded)

I'm running the development edition of FMS 4.5 and am trying to get HLS working. Whenever I attempt to publish a stream from FMLE, I receive the message:

f4f:livestream - NetStream.Record.DiskQuotaExceeded

in the livepkgr application instance and

Failed to record livestream (disk quota exceeded).

in the server log.

I realize there are limitations on the development edition (10 minutes of iOS streaming), however usually these limitations restart when the server is reset.  I've restarted the application instance and the server itself, manually starting and stopping the service, and I still receive that error when I first connect and try to publish the stream right after a server restart. I've reset the server multiple times to no avail.

The recording settings in the application.xml are all set to the defaults (-1 for no maximums).

Unfortunately I've never been able to get this to work yet so I'm not ambitious enough to start testing it on any production servers.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

    The error you are getting is because your previous f4f recording still exists. If you delete f4f recording ( livepkgr/streams/_definst_/livestream), restart the instance like you do and you should be fine. Restart of FMS wont have any effect as it does not automatically delete your existing recording. So before you start publishing , clean up your previous recording.

    Also limit should be 30 minutes for development server - i know why you are mistaken that's because the link:http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/helpmechoose.html shows it as 10 minutes (I'll check with right person responsbile for this page to get that corrected)

    let me know if you still face any issues.

    You're right - that took care of it. Thank you so much!

    So what is the best way to manage that? Obviously if I have lots of streams, I can't be going in there and manually deleting the leftover files all day long. Is there a sample script or something used to keep that clean and why couldn't the server be made to flush that data upon reload of the application instance or server restart?

    Thanks again!

    Be default "livepkgr" records in "append" mode. Now if you have got Interactive Edition or Enterprise Edition - you can modify "livepkgr" (you will find source in \samples\applications). And if you Streaming Edition - you can choose to record in "record" mode by sending it as one of publishQueryString parameter. (i.e. your stream name would look like  livesteam%i?adbe-record-mode=record&adbe-live-event=liveevent )
