Awesome, thanks for the hard work.

How does the file clean up work? Does it look at how full the partition is and then delete based on age? Just wondering if there's any benefit to getting a larger card so I can hold more recordings before they get deleted.

At the moment retention policy is time based only, minEvictionHours sets time in hours to keep audio clips, any older clips than set here will be deleted. Cleanup is a bit limited for now.

I will add disk capacity based retention policy at some point (soon I hope). I will also add species specific settings so that clips of more common species get expunged first and some may be kept forever.
