Emby no longer recording LiveTV

[richardcastle 4]

I'm a bit stumped.

I'm an Emby Premier subscribe and have been enjoying Emby for years. This is my first posting.

Emby is no longer recording LiveTV either immediate, or scheduled. I however appear to be able to still timeshift on a live stream.

When I look at my log file, it appears that Emby is defaulting to find and make recording folders in my C:\Windows\System32 folder. This is despite settings pointing Emby to save recordings in C:\LiveTV

I'm not running Emby as a service right now and in debugging, I've updated paths to point to local files. Emby is running as the same user as the one currently logged in.

Log file attached. Errors obvious at the every end of the file.

I'd like to avoid a reinstall. Any suggestions please?

Hello richardcastle,

Hi there, how have you configured your recording settings? Can you show a screenshot? Thanks.

[Luke 37064]

Also based on the log file I think you may have accidentally configured at least one Emby library containing a folder path pointing to C:\WINDOWS\system32\TV Series

So I would remove that library and check all of the others as well.

Hey Luke,

Thanks for coming back to me. Screenshot of recording settings attached.

I have 6 libraries. None of which are pointing to C:\WINDOWS\System32  [proof attached]

Ok the problem is your DVR settings. The movie and TV paths are not paths but just names.

Thank you Luke and team. I feel a little stupid there. 

All seems to be working again now.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback.
