I had issues in the past with recordings failing because of the large amount of space required to record movies, so I bought larger storage on my DVR machine - 128GB in the transcode & destination drive (the .ts files are processed and moved later).
Tonight two SD (576p) recordings failed. I checked the logs - Plex was looking for >100GB space to record each movie.

One recording was for 2 hours 20 mins, the other recording was for 3 hours 15 mins. This has to be a bug, surely? The finished .ts files are under 10 GB in the end.
