Hello!
I use the browser extension Stream Recorder - HLS & m3u8 Video Downloader (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stream-recorder-hls-m3u8/iogidnfllpdhagebkblkgbfijkbkjdmm) to record streams that are interesting to me and that I would like to keep as a keepsake. During recording, this extension saves data to the blob_storage folder (Users***\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\blob_storage).
I found that this folder has a limit for the maximum amount of data of 46.3 GB. When I record long streams in high quality (4K), it happens that this folder fills up completely. In this case, the recording is interrupted and it cannot be saved.
Can you tell me how to remove this 46.3 GB limit for this folder?
I know that there is no such restriction for this folder in the SWare Iron browser (I’ve tried it too), but that browser is not very comfortable for me. I love Brave, especially because of the vertical tabs and some other features, and I would like to continue using your browser. Please help me to remove the limit on the maximum amount of saved data in the blob_storage folder…
Thank you very much for your support, I hope!
P.S. At the moment I am using the browser version 1.75.180 Chromium: 133.0.6943.126
@instructorxp,
Unfortunately this is a built-in restriction that cannot be removed. As far as I can tell, almost all Chromium based browsers have this built in limitation. While blob_storage can be cleared/cleaned, the limit itself cannot be removed.
However, I’m not entirely sure how you have this setup, but I just tested this myself and when I started the extension (I used a live Twitch stream), it took me to a page where I could see the extension options and that the recording was active. When I clicked Save it saved the file to my downloads folder – not blob storage.
Note that I could not get the Capture function to work on Twitch (and couldn’t get either to work on YouTube) so maybe that is what saves to blob_storage. Can you expand a bit more on how you have this setup and maybe provide a link to a live stream where you can use both modes so I can test?
