Recordings Not Showing Up

For the last month or so, after some time of the server being up, active and complete tv recordings stop showing up anywhere in emby. They are recording, i can see the files growing and completing in windows explorer but they do not show up as active recordings while in progress or in the recorded tv library once complete.

 

this may be another symptom of the issue where active recordings are inconsistently showing in the dashboard. restarting the server makes the recordings show up but clearly this can't be done until all recordings have completed. not very good

I concur with @@Spaceboy's findings.

 

I recorded the F1 Qualifying programme this afternoon and although I can see the recording in Windows Explorer, it's not showing anywhere in Emby, be it the Web Client or ATV app.

 

The recording also stopped for some reason after 26 minutes instead of 90, but I'll post about that separately if I need to.

Strange. I'll do some testing, thanks. If you can reproduce easily then please attach a server log from an example. Thanks.

For reference, I have pointed my Stable Emby server at the same location as my Beta server Live TV and the recordings showed up instantly.

so any thoughts? it seems to be happening all the time these days. i have to keep manually refreshing the recordings library to be able to watch anything

When you recorded the goldbergs was it a new series you hadn't had before, or a new episode for an existing series?

For reference, I upgraded one of my Stable Emby servers to Beta and it showed the RECORDINGS straight away.

Whether this is a hangover from the Stable system, or something wrong with my main Beta server, I don't know.

I have the same issue no new recordings show up in live tv recordings

 

What kind of recordings?

I have a different issue found it was not displaying the last few days of recordings because emby server locked up the tuners that is one of the reason I don't understand the option to view the tuners have been removed until the issue gets fully resolved and working properly there should be an easier way to view are your tuners in use.

Ignore my RECORDINGS issue, as it was a user error, based on this !!

 

My ADMIN account didn't have access to my RECORDINGS folder.

 

BACKWARDS or what !!

it was a single episode recording. I have never watched this show before.

 

I can see what the issue is. After x time it seems that the real-time monitoring stops working. it actually affects all new media (i also noticed that Sunday's episode of the walking dead still wasn't showing as available on Monday evening) but is obviously most noticeable on live tv because I need to watch the shows immediately after they were added. Restarting the server gets RTM working again

I'm playing around with dvr in emby for the first time. I setup a recording path and made sure the privileges are okay (Ubuntu 20.04). I made a recording of news, .ts and .nfo files are in the folder. But I do not see the recording in the new created "Recordings" libary. I already scanned the library and restarted Emby server. Is this a known bug in Server beta 4.7.0.9?

have you allowed the user access to the recordings library in emby?

Yes, I tested with an admin user who has access to all libraries.

Do the recordings show up in Live TV Recordings tab?

and no

 

I'll make some more tests. Then I'll provide a log. Guess a server log would be most helpful?

okay I got it.

I put the recordings on a second ssd.

Don't exactly know what the problem was, sorry currently my time is spare to check it up.

Either it was because the recording path was directly on the / of the ssd (mount point), or because I only made emby as the user, but not as the group owner (although I don't know why this wouldn't work).

But now, /ssd/recordings/...

and emby:emby chown

it works.

 

Thank you!
