How to Disable Live TV processes?

[Mister Steve 30]

I no longer have Live TV and have removed the setup data, yet Emby still runs tasks to try to refresh the guide and start recordings:

• 2025-08-09 00:39:55.399 Info LiveTvManager: Refreshing guide with 7 days of guide data
• 2025-08-09 00:39:55.435 Info LiveTV: Creating recording timer for 938495cca723d0a65364e2accdd8171,  Not Worth Your Time to Watch. Timer will fire in 3500.076071955 minutes

How can I prevent LiveTV tasks from running?

Thanks

Hi. You might just need to delete scheduled recordings. That’s all you need to do.

[Mister Steve 30]

I cannot find an option to delete scheduled recordings, or any options related to DVR and recordings. Maybe these options disappeared when I removed the TV source.

Ok I think you are good then. The scheduled recordings obviously won’t happen.

[Mister Steve 30]

To clarify - I removed the TV device and related setup data months ago, yet Emby continues to try to schedule recordings.

Yesterday, the "Info LiveTV: Creating recording timer..." message appears in the server log file 240 times.

Emby tried to refresh guide data 13 times yesterday.

How can I stop these processes from running?  My system has been running out of memory and I'm trying to remove all of the unnecessary processes.

Thanks

Hi, what makes you think it tried to refresh the guide?

If it's just the message in the log, you can ignore it. When there are no tuners, there is nothing to do, making the task a no-op.

@Luke I found a solution is to simply clear the livetv folder. It was full of leftover config.
