Tv shows not recording properly


Recommended Posts

Having a lot of issues with recording tv shows. About half of the time the show will be on the recorded tv but will have zero minutes. Last night tried to record undercover boss and it stopped 18 minutes in. I tried looking at the logs and there is a lot of error reports in the log.

I'll need to add more logging, but there are all kinds of networking errors here. 

The directory name \\EMBYSERVER\TV2 is invalid.

Just one example. I would setup your library with the direct paths if this is all on the same system.

Ill try that first. Force of habit on the network path. Used to have to do that with MB to work properly.

 

Thanks,

Okay so correcting the path has improved the loading time that it takes my shield tv's to display anything on the screen. Still having trouble with the recording. If you notice around the 12:30 mark it says it fired up for one of my wifes soaps but it didnt record anything,

I will need to add more logging to chase this down because it does look like it started to record.

 

If you want to jump on the beta the builds there are more frequent so we can work to solve this, just make sure to read the blog concerning the beta before doing that.

I will add more logging if you need it. I was on the beta builds and switched to stable. I'll switch back to beta.

The databases between beta and stable right now are incompatible. You need to stay on beta.

At the 12:30 mark you will see that it fires for Young and the restless but never records. There's other shows where it does this but this is the easiest to track cause it records everyday.

ok, in your case, interestingly it's trying to record the same episode on two different channels at the same time, and writing to the same file. that's obviously going to cause a problem. i'll have to think of how we're going to handle that.

Yeah I just noticed where I have multiple shows that are set to record that are the same. One is SD and the other HD. I have fixed those issue. I know that I had some singular series recordings that were never doubled that never recorded. I'll have to check in a couple of days and post the logs.

If you'll look at the 20:30 time frame it fires off for the real o'neals. it never recorded anything. Also the show started at 20:00. There was another showing at 21:00 but nothing ever started and it was a different episode.

everything looks normal though for the real oneals. are you sure something else didn't possibly move or delete the file after? keep in mind you are running pre-release but not staying up to date. that makes it difficult to offer much help because work has been done in these areas since then. i put out 5891 5 days ago. you were still on that build as of yesterday even though newer builds were available. if you're going to run pre-release please make sure to allow it to auto-update.

I set a new series to record. Once Upon A Time. If you look at the 19:00 mark it shows where it tried to record. All I end up with after it's finished is a 708kb file of nothing. I'm on latest version. Like I mentioned earlier it happens with random shows and at random times. Sometimes a show will record then another time the same show wont record. I don't touch the files at all after they're recorded.
