O19GP 7 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 Hi there, I've been recording live TV for years without issue. However recently (I believe at the time of the change from BST to GMT), Emby started getting the recordings wrong. Typically starting 30 to 45 minutes before the scheduled time. The TV guide is correct, system time too, timezone is set correctly in Docker etc. I don't have settings triggering an early start or late finish of recordings. In the attached logs there's an example: The recording started at 18:13 (6:13pm) instead of 19:00 (7pm) - 47 minutes early. And it ended at 19:29 instead of 19:25 - 4 minutes late. Any ideas? embyserver-63900432975.txt
Luke 42077 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 Hi, I would check your options for both the recording as well as default recording options. Specifically the start x minutes before option.
O19GP 7 Posted December 12, 2025 Author Posted December 12, 2025 Hi @Luke, I did and I have no settings to start earlier or finish later.
Luke 42077 Posted December 12, 2025 Posted December 12, 2025 Hi, what exactly did you check, and what exactly did you find?
O19GP 7 Posted December 13, 2025 Author Posted December 13, 2025 @luke both the default option as well as on a per recording level. Both showing 0s in all fields. See attached screenshots.
Luke 42077 Posted December 18, 2025 Posted December 18, 2025 Hi, what recording are we focusing on here?
O19GP 7 Posted December 19, 2025 Author Posted December 19, 2025 NOS Journaal, roughly running GMT 19:00 to 19:25 (country of broadcast time 20:00)
Luke 42077 Posted December 22, 2025 Posted December 22, 2025 I don't see anything obvious here. We will have to print more information in the log to see why it started early. If you could prepare another example and include screenshots from the guide data in emby server, that would be helpful. thanks.
