So for a temporary(?) fix, go to the recordings screen and look at how 
big each recording is.  pretty easy to get an estimate from looking at a 
few.

You missed the part about this not being a php thing.  mythweb gets this

obtained from the master backend, and I don't exactly know how they 
relate to slave backends, etc...
