Emby occasionally makes ~10 "recordings" of a show before actually recording

[enforcersu 1]

I'm having a bit of a weird issue, where Emby will seemingly attempt a recording ~10 times before actually starting the recording.  See image here:

 

I've uploaded my server log here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dldo8F561DZa_O_u081jZCObZ-d-uI1Z

 

I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Rebooting the server.
2. Rebooting my machine.
3. Rebooting my HDHR devices.

The problem keeps persisting.  The HDHR devices and Computer running emby server are both connected to the same router off the modem, so it shouldn't be an internet issue.  There also shouldn't be an issue with signal as the cable / cablecards seem to be functioning fine.

 

Could it be a problem with one of my specific HDHR Prime devices?

 

Thanks!

Your HDHR returned 503 Unavailable responses when trying to open a stream for recording:

Emby Server retried every 1 minute until the recording succeeded. 

 

When this happens we need to make sure those partial files aren't created though.

Generally what does it mean when an HDHR returns that error? (I suppose I should follow up on the SD forums, but wasn't sure if you've seen this before?)

[Luke 42085]

Usually it means there is no available tuner.

Hmm, it seems what is actually happening, however, is that it's tuning and stopping the stream

from the logs.

 

Emby is the only thing that uses my HDHR tuners.

Could it possibly be driven by bad prioritization between my 2HDHR Prime devices?  it seems that when the recording is on one of the HDHR devices it's always fine, only when it goes to the second one does it have issues?

[Luke 42085]

We are not stopping the stream, the hdhr is for whatever reason. It could also be due to loss of signal.
