lightsout 144 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Running the latest stable. Twice now I have shut down emby from the dashboard, and then went to the task manager to be sure it wasn't running. (it is not running as a service) But twice now I find out that emby is back up and running and recording a show. Annoying because I have disabled it to avoid this very thing. Running a sync with snapraid (many hour long) and it throws errors when data is added while syncing. How do I prevent this from happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same issue recently until I realized that Schedule Recordings will start Emby up even if you have QUIT the server from the icon tray. Schedule recordings create a scheduled task entry (for Windows) and even if you have Emby Server turned off the next scheduled recording in the Task Scheduler will start it back up to record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a requested feature. Isn't that exactly what you want your recording engine to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if my reply seemed like a criticism. Original OP asked why and I provided my discovery process. My original issue was I created a standby backup of Emby on a second server for fail over protection and didn't realize that scheduled recordings on the backup would kick off Emby Server and create duplicates of my recordings. Finally figured it out and realized I need to remove all schedule recordings from the backup version to prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 144 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 This was a requested feature. Isn't that exactly what you want your recording engine to do? I understand the perspective here. I am fine with the way that it is. For me if I kill a piece of software I want it off. I had a reason for killing it. But I can appreciate this activity as well. If it stopped running for some reason (used to for me but hasn't since I got rid f most plugins.) nice that you won't miss a recording. As long as I now know that I can kill recordings in the task scheduler. Because that has been a problem (already started another thread) that killing recordings within emby for me doesn't work. Maybe killing a whole show does but single episodes would disappear from the schedule yet record anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 True. I forgot about that issue but my Server runs 24-7 and I only take it down at times I know nothing is scheduled to record. @@ebr @@Luke Any coding to change this behavior?

There's always something recording. Maybe I should stop some of the rerun's recording. Recently added a drive to my array and had to do some point syncing with snapraid and some balancing with drivepool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
