paulsavo 2 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi folks can someone please help, main reason i got premium emby was for live tv and recording facilities but having major issues everytime i set something to record it only partly records An example is last night, i recorded the big boxing fight Fury v Wilder, the programme lasted about 2 hours, but the recording says it is over 20 hours in length but actually only plays for about 45 mins its becoming really frustrating that this constantly happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Unfortunately this is common. Better recovery from this type of situation has been asked for many times previously. If the bitrate of the stram drops OR gets disconnected entirely BEFORE the expected expiry/end time THEN Emby should restart recording to a -1 -2 file etc etc until the length of the expected recording has expired.

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Currently, from IPTV sources, it is hit and miss. From HDHR it is 100% success. Issues with IPTV streams can be many. Its not usually embys fault that the streams fail BUT it is embys fault that it does not notice this and try again/restart stream recording.

ebr 14862 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Okay, well just be aware that our Android server is still in beta. Thanks. Note - Emby Server for Android is currently a BETA product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsavo 2 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 i understand that but im still paying for a premium service and its not working, if the android server is expected to have issues then why is it still the same price as other services? its just frustrating that dosent work, again i set it to record the lomechenko boxing fight last night and also set nexpvr, kodi and plex, all 3 of them recorded with no issues yet emby cut off in the 2nd round so no use at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Try enabling the stream looping option on the m3u tuner. This is exactly why we've added it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
