Stop users recordings.

[GreatFlashMan 91]

I have a user that is recording a series via live TV that is already on the server.

I can delete the episodes, but how to I (as admin) stop all future recordings? I cannot even see what user it is, I could ring around haha, but would be easier just to stop them.

Don't know how many users you have on your server but you can revoke/untick Live TV recording privileges in user settings for all/any of them.

not many, just friends and family, so about 15. I know i can revoke, but i don't have an issue with recording at all, just pointless recording something that is already available on the server. So, wanted to terminate that recording only. Even as admin, I have no access to scheduled recordings.

GF,

I don't have this turned on.  Just a guess, if you go into your server to this subfolder and open the html file, does it give you access to this information?  It looks like an admin access html only and perhaps not inside Emby server.
... AppData/Roaming/Emby-Server/system/dashboard-ui/modules/tabbedview/itemstab.template.html

I would think someone who really knows this issue can answer better.  This page looks like it might do what you want.

HI, you can delete the series recording from the schedule. Have you tried that?

yes, but it keeps coming back. Deleted episodes and schedule.

I will delete again and server restart.

What exactly did you delete, from where?

Maybe it's stupid what I'm going to say but, what about sending an email to all your users (all of them friends and family) with something like this ?

Dear XXX,

Please before recording from LiveTV a TV Show, check if the show is already on TV Shows in Emby.

I've noticed that one of my users is repeately scheduling a recording of TV Show XXX that is already in the server.

Recording uses space and Hard Disks Live time from my server and it's a waste of usage and resources to record something that is already there.

Thanks for your understanding.

In fact I had this issue with one of my 5 users 1 year ago, and an email like this stopped this behaviour.

Hope this helps.
