I'm getting behaviour with a series recording with a single excluded episode (set to do not record this episode) is forgotten when the emby guide refreshes, daily (so it ends up recording it anyway!) Also, if you specify a single program to record using the guide 'record' (not record series, just record) it forgets when the guide refreshes, daily It shows a correct schedule right until the minute after the guide update scheduled task. Then all excluded and extra single episodes are reverted/forgotten! I mainly use 'Keyword type: Title' for series recordings (and hand picked channels), but affects all types of series (keywords added by me, manually set in the guide & series linked in the guide). When I try and 'record' a single non series episode it will be reverted without fail, doesn't matter what channel I pick, time or name. I had a look at the log and it seems to remove each channels program data before re-adding it (and I'm assuming this is where the single episode customisations are lost!) not sure if this is standard behaviour. Guide data set to 14 days, update task occurs daily at 8am, done the usual reboots and standard diagnosing - no luck. Also tried with slightly different emby 'guide data source', same issue. Any clues or hints appreciated - not sure what is going on or how to troubleshoot further Dexter (full debug log file attached) 2025-01-08 08:00:01.084 Info SecurityManager: Registered for livetv-plugin 2025-01-08 08:00:01.802 Info LiveTvManager: Refreshing guide with 14 days of guide data 2025-01-08 08:00:01.808 Info LiveTvService: [NextPvr] Start GetPrograms Async, retrieve all Programs 2025-01-08 08:00:01.808 Info LiveTvService: Channel EPG: DVB/ATSC EPG 2025-01-08 08:00:01.808 Info HttpClient: GET http://localhost:8866/service?method=channel.listings&sid=d14766e6bb8d450a94a68960b5bcac86&start=1736319601&end=1737529201&channel_id=7148 2025-01-08 08:00:01.876 Debug LiveTvManager: Channel BBC ONE Lon has 0 programs. 192 are updated. 2025-01-08 08:00:02.087 Info SqliteItemRepository: Removing 191 old programs from channel 3907833 BBC ONE Lon embyserver-63871964100 (1).txt

I'm not sure if there's a solution to this that doesn't involve extensive manual editing of XML files to keep channel/guide info current, but just in case there is an easier workaround, I wanted to post what I've been experiencing when trying to use the DVR. It's not the behavior I notice every time, but recording shows with the DVR works so infrequently that I rarely try. This is the most common result, where only a few minutes of a show will be recorded (attached screenshot of 'info' screen). I included the log file, though it does seem to have a TON of extra info, much of it pertaining to some other errors with the TuneIn plugin & retrieving audio content, but all I'm worried about here is what happened on 2/18 around 5PM when I requested this particular recording. I've replaced my local path/username/public URL with dummy data. Even if the guide is goofed up and it's taping the wrong show...is there any other reason why it'd crap out after recording just a few minutes? Thanks. embyserver-63717667196.txt

I think it would be helpful if each user had their own recording schedule. One user should not be able to cancel the recording of another user. If each user has their own Recordings view then two users could set to record the same show and if one user changes their mind and wants to cancel the recording then the guide should display that recording as canceled while the recording still occurs for the other user. Just as each user has their own "watched status", each user should have their own recording schedule. Duplicate scheduled recordings would of course only need to be recorded once.
