Not enough free disk space (1 Viewer)

When I try to watch live TV I get the error message "not enough free disk space". I have searched for similar issues in other threads but found no suitable solution.

Please consider that:
- MP has been working correctly for a few days before starting showing this message
- I have set the Recording and Timeshift directories to a hard disk with aboug 100 GB free (d:\). Just to be sure, I've done the same for the Video and Music folders.
- The main (system) disk (c:\) has 4.5 GB free (but also the MP application is installed on the other disk, with plenty of space)
- The tuner card is a Hauppauge WinTV Nova stick. It works fine with the Hauppauge WinTV application

Any suggestion on what could be the problem?
Thanks
Bob

SOlVED.

Such a stupid, small, incredible problem!

MP didn't work correctly just because in the folders' paths (i.e., the recording folder, and especially the timeshift folder) I was using a logical drive letter (created with a "subst"), and not the full path ... and all of this without giving out any error!

I'll try to explain it better for whoever should have the same problem:

I have a main fixed disk, C\, and a large external disk, F:\. In the external diskI have created a directory named "Multimedia" "substed" as D:\. Everything works perfectly fine with any application, the logical D: disk appears when I browse the folders within MP, so when I was selecting the timeshift folder I just navigated to D:\

Well, this creates the problem. And it should be not a MP problem, but a Microsoft one, because exactly the same behaviour happened with another TV software, the WinTV application from Hauppauge

As soon as I changed from D:\ to F:\Multimedia the application worked fine again

Greetings,
Bob
