Problem when setting up a recording

[csadoian 37]

Since the update to Emby Server 4.10.0.40, when using the Emby Theater app (Windows version 3.0.20, Linux SNAP version 3.0.19) and I want to set up a recording, I go to the guide and click on the program I want to record.  I click on record, then very often (especially in the case of sporting events) I will click on settings  so I can change the "Stop when possible" setting.  After the server update when I do this I get a spinning circle, and a somewhat unresponsive user interface.  I can eventually get out of it, but it is not possible to change the settings of the program I am trying to record.

This does not happen in the web app, nor does it happen in the Android app.  I haven't checked IOS, but it looks to be an Emby Theater problem, rather than a problem with any of the stand alone apps.  It's very annoying because I always set my sporting event recordings to stop at least 60 minutes later than the program is scheduled, in case of overtime, rain delays, etc.

Note:  When I attempted to download the embyserver.txt log using the Linux Emby Theater app, the app crashed.  I had to do it in the web client.

Have you tried the new Linux app? How does that compare?

You're actually on 3.0.19. I just tested this and did not see any problems. Also your log is really short but everything seems to have responded quickly there. You may want to try out the new linux app.

As I said in my posting, I am using Emby Theater for Windows 3.0.20 and on Linux I use the SNAP version of Emby Theater that identifies as version 3.0.19.  The reason I use the SNAP version on Linux is that I use both Linux Mint LMDE (Debian-based) and CachyOS (based on Arch).  The Linux version of Emby Theater available on your web site and in the app store stopped working on LMDE a version or so ago.  That's when I had to go to the SNAP version for LMDE.  On CachyOS I WAS using 3.0.21-3 available in CachyOS repository, but since the server update I started having issues with it.  So on CachyOS I removed it and went to the SNAP version and still experienced the same problem.

Ok, this is weird.  I think I must be in the twilight zone.  I just checked on every platform and now I am not having any issues at all with setting up recordings.  The only thing different I did was reboot the servers (I have two of them).  One of them was prompting to restart in response to (I think) a plugin update.  The other just said it was up to date, but I restarted it anyway.

Sorry for the false alarm.

The new Linux app should work fine on both Linux Mint and CachyOS. Sorry I missed the Windows part, for that you should try using Emby for Windows instead of Emby Theater.
