Happy to help here as well @cayars as I have also been experiencing this issue unfortunately.

Same questions would be asked of your setup.
What paths do you have setup in the DVR menu from the Dashboard?
If anything is setup there, then what libraries do you have setup?  What are the paths mounted for each library?

Library

This was created when I updated the path in DVR/Advanced area. I've deleted and recreated this many times. This thread lead me to the OP idea around adding it to my Main TV Shows library as most in here are Recorded TV and not Movies.

All other library paths point to NAS storage using SMB shares. I deleted and created the DVR/Advanced path to the NAS as well but no luck also. Only indication I ever have of recording in progress is by looking at the Guide.

Thanks for the help. Lmk if you need more info.

Don't do that. We want to make sure your recording library is not included in any other libraries other than the Recording library.

Ok didn't do it. What are your thoughts for next steps here @cayars ?

Let me know when you have a moment.

@LukeLate last night/early this morning as I was able to reproduce this issue on my Synology 920+.

I'm able to reproduce this with the following config changes.
Live TVDVR Advanced->Default recording path: to /volumeUSB1/usbshare/
Transcoding->Transcoding temporary path: /volumeUSB1/usbshare

With that setup I experience exactly the same as what's been said here. Recordings show in the Recording Library off the main menu but not in Live TV Recording tab.
Granted that's not an ideal path to use for both of those items and I wouldn't recommend it but it does cause the issue and I'm able to repeat it.

The drive /volumeUSB1 is not used for anything other than the two items mentioned above.

So you set the transcoding temp path to the same path as a media folder?

Did this topic get resolved?  I hadn't played with recording and so wasn't aware I was experiencing this same thing.

and .. I did a quick search and found this, but there seemed not resolution here. So fiddling for a few seconds, I just resolved it for myself.

 

I am using Emby in a container, and in my docker-compose file I set a host path to /recordings in my container.

In the Emby config I have a Library "Recordings" - Mixed content /recordings and.. this was resulting in recordings being made.

And the showed up on the main screen under the Library view.

BUT.. in the Live TV menu, recordings was empty.

 

I looked in the setup, Server->Live TV->Advanced and the Default recording folder setting was blank.  I clicked the dropdown and only /recordings appeared.  So I chose it. {Save}

Then looked, and Boom! content shows on my Firestick and Webpage on the Live TV -> Recordings menu.

So I set it back to blank by closing the blank row in the dropdown, and sure enough, no content showed again. So yeah, set it to the good value.

 

So this is a bit interesting, but barely worth my continued attention as I resolved it in minutes.. it seems that the recording side of the Emby brain knew where to put new recordings, maybe because there was only one mixed content library named Recordings, and since the main page just shows libraries, the content was viewable, but the menu bar on Live TV looks specifically for the setting value.  Fail to actually set it, and the menu choices shows blank.

 

I don't know if that was the issue for others that experience this, there you go.
