FR: Display Active Live TV Recordings in Dashboard


Recommended Posts

I have several times restarted the server/applied an update while a show was recording, and not knowing it was happening.  Any ways we can get the "Active Devices" to also list active recordings taking place so that we know what is going on with the server at any given time when looking at the dashboard?

Recordings also need to be taken into account when you have the "Allow the server to restart automatically to apply updates" option set.

 

I'm sure this has all been brought up before, but never implemented.

I've just started an active recording via Emby Live TV and I can't see that it is recording anywhere in the dashboard/web client !!

Refresh the EPG window.  That's how I get it to show up.

I'm sure I tried that, but there should be an easier way.

Agreed.

I'm using a HD Homerun PRIME, all is working fine, with Schedules Direct providing EPG data and all, it all works just fine...

 

The problem as I see it is, if I use a mobile Emby app, Emby Theater, or the web interface to watch TV, the activity will show up on the Active Devices section of the Server Dashboard, name of the show, which tuner, which user, etc, but when a scheduled recording is active, it doesn't. Shouldn't it?

 

Also, the Live TV section on the dashboard only says watching in the active tuner when recording or not. I would have thought it would be more verbose like the Active Devices section is. I understand that if an outside plugin, like NextPVR, is used, this might not be possible, but when the Emby recording engine is used, all this should show up.

OK, I'll continue the conversation there. I searched but didn't find anything... I should have put "Active Devices" into the search.

 

Thanks.

I was just referred to this thread, I guess I'm not the only one to see this.

We currently have active recordings under Live TV - Recordings. As others have mentioned it would be nice to have these listed in the server dashboard under active devices.
