RonBoyd 1 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I am unsure how to explain this. I cannot get EMBY to record (some) scheduled programs. It will create a Folder and create two .nfo files ([Program Name] [s*E*] {Episode Name.nfo & season.nfo) but no MKV/MP4 file. I say some programs because when I first installed EMBY, I scheduled 3 programs and forgot about. Several months later, I now find that those programs have been recording regularly. My problem is I cannot duplicate, with new shows, how I accomplished that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonBoyd 1 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Hi there, can you please discuss an example and attach the emby server log from the time of the recording? Thanks. No problem. I don't know what I can add other than what I wrote above with specific questions. But first, where would I find the server log & the file name?

RonBoyd 1 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Okay. I don't know how to respond to your post. I see no way to attach a file and a simple "cut & paste" merely thinks for awhile then quits. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonBoyd 1 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi.

RonBoyd 1 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 So there is no solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14898 Posted January 25, 2020 Solution Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hi. I'm guessing maybe this is your problem: System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: There is not enough space on the disk. Have you run out of disc space?

RonBoyd 1 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Oh! That is most likely the problem. The drive is full. It is a 2TB external drive that another program fill up with silliness. In defense, I have ~40TB of external storage so disc space is something I never (up to now <sheepish grin>) had to think about.I have freed up space and we will see what happens with tonight's schedule. Thank you for the help. Edited January 25, 2020 by RonBoyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would make it much more "user friendly." What made it even more confusing was the programs were listed as having been recorded -- listed in My Media> TV Shows -- but failed the play option... something that could be discovered months later. Update: After freeing up HD space, Emby DVR seems to be working as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2491 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Many things available to help here and alert on lack of disk space.

RonBoyd 1 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 I Agree. I guess that is what I was trying to say. Putting a "band aid" on a program is not what I am looking for -- regardless of price. Again, as I mentioned above, worrying about disk space does not have high-priority with me. I only offered Disk Scanner as an example of what I use not as an assist for EMBY. I use it primarily when I need to bulk move files; I can quickly see where there is space available. SageTV is (at this time) my primary HT program. I am experimenting with Tablo, EMBY, Channels DVR, PLEX, etc. in expectation of STV's ultimate demise. (in a related issue, PlayOn is becoming quite popular with me.) Hopefully one of these programs will eventually match STV's UI and I can settle in to a single application. Bottom line is this lack (Intelligent Recording and Multi-Hard Drive selection) is quite disappointing... off-putting even. That true but couldn't hurt to get something build in to Emby like both SageTV and NextPVR has it one of thing I ask for I thing in Feature Requests and if had Intelligent Recording that would solve the whole problem.
