Scheduled live tv recordings randomly fail

[vdrover 62]

Usually my schedule recordings work just fine. But sometimes the simply don't start. I've checked the logs, and there is a common "Error probing live tv stream" error reported for the shows that are scheduled but fail to record. 

Notably, not even 1 second of the show is recorded as the folder containing the file has no .TS file (though usually the NFO and poster are present).

@LukeAny thoughts?

HI, it looks like it's just not getting data from the tuner. I would try rebooting both the server machine and HDHR tuner and see if that helps.

@vdroverhas this helped?

Rebooting did not help. I still have this problem. I use threadfin. I am removing this to to see if it might be part of the problem.

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

I've had simular issues, but after updating this morning to EMBY v4.8.4.0, with 'fix duplicate live tv views', it seems to have solved my problems.

For some months already, in my live-TV EPG, several TV channels had double entries, chosing a certian channel or program, gave me the impression that there were 2 entries, and I thus maybe didn't always choose the correct one and thus the recording failed: maybe Luke or somebody else can eleborate more details about this issue ?

I hope, this helps you solving your no-recordings ?

Thnx & best regards, Peter

It won't have any impact on recordings, just FYI.

Circling back here to say that the issue was probably due to some faulty wiring between my modem and router. Replacing the wiring has resulted in a big improvement in my ability to record live TV.

Follow-up #2: Some of these errors may also have been related to a mis-configured reverse proxy. After reconfiguring my reverse proxy per this post, I am not seeing these errors any longer.
