Ai Input folder not being purged

[WildDoktor]

In Clips and Archiving, I've renamed the very last "folder" to "aiinput", pointed it to a folder on my z: drive, limit size =1GB, limit clip age = 2 days, Delete.

But whenever the folder gets to 1GB, nothing gets deleted, and Deep Stack / AI Tools stop detecting motion. If I manually delete files from the z: drive folder, motion is detected again.

What do I need to change to get that folder to purge automatically?

Thanks!

Use size only, not days.

By last folder do you mean AUX7 ? What is writing to the aiinput folder? If it is not the BI application it will not get deleted. If another application is useing the folder also, i do not think it will get deleted. I know nothing about deep stack.

Thanks; I'll give that a shot!

Yep; it was aux 7, now "aiinput", and I'm pushing jpgs from a sub-stream to this folder every 5 seconds when motion is detected. (Then AI Tool and Deep Stack analyze those to determine if the hd stream should start recording.)

Hopefully the "not days" will fix it; will try that after work tonight!
