rbknox 5 Posted April 21 Posted April 21 I am experiencing similar behavior, particularly with sports scheduled recordings. The series is scheduled and the desired games / episodes show red ball scheduled but the event does not record and as far as I can tell there is no activity data indicating why the scheduled event did not record. This has been happening for a month or so. FYI, I have lifetime Emby Premiere so assume this is not part of the problem.
Luke 40004 Posted April 21 Posted April 21 @rbknox HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !
rbknox 5 Posted April 22 Author Posted April 22 I took a look in the logs - seems I was running out of storage space. Not sure what the criteria is as my drive still had over 100 GB. That would be the first question. The second question: is there anything to let one know that storage is getting low or not sufficient. It seems from this experience that instead the recording just fails silently …. Not very helpful.

Luke 40004 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Quote is there anything to let one know that storage is getting low or not sufficient. Yes this is something we plan to improve on in future updates. Thanks.

rbknox 5 Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 It would appear that scheduled recordings stopped recording with no indication as to why. I see “not enough storage” messages in the log. You have acknowledged that this needs to be improved. I would argue that canceling a recording without any message is irresponsible, especially when it seems I had enough storage (see below). Needs to be fixed asap imo. You were the one who asked for an example. I assumed you were going to investigate why I was apparently out of storage even though my dedicated recording storage drive showed over 100GB available. Thanks!
Luke 40004 Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Just to clarify, it does not get cancelled. The server never pre-emptively cancels your recording. It is trying and failing due to free space.
rbknox 5 Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 Okay, but it is still silent. I don't know if you have tried, but if you show up after the fact, there simply isn't any recording. If you're there in a time shifting scenario, i.e. you start watching a few minutes before or after live, the behavior is totally confusing, especially if you catch the fact that there is no recording and attempt to restart the process. I'm still suspicious of whether it is failing because it truly doesn't have enough space. When I first investigated there was over 100GB free on the dedicated share. Now, a program or two may have been deleted in the interim. But given recording size to be in the 5GB range, it seems unlikely that there wasn't enough space. Is there some sort of minimum storage required?
rbknox 5 Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 Yes, it is a share with mirroring created using Windows 10 storage spaces.

Luke 40004 Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Quote Is there some sort of minimum storage required? You need space on the destination but also on the c drive just during the time of the recording. do you have that?
rbknox 5 Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 no, not since clearing out storage on the share (d: drive). 1
