Recording times no longer correct


Recommended Posts

Posted

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?

Hi, I would check your options for both the recording as well as default recording options. Specifically the start x minutes before option.

Hi @Luke, I did and I have no settings to start earlier or finish later.

Hi, what exactly did you check, and what exactly did you find?

@luke both the default option as well as on a per recording level. Both showing 0s in all fields. See attached screenshots.

Hi, what recording are we focusing on here?

NOS Journaal, roughly running GMT 19:00 to 19:25 (country of broadcast time 20:00)

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.
