My Recorded TV library is empty, but DVR is working

Hello everyone,

 I haven't posted in a while, but seem to be having a problem with my Recorded TV library. The DVR is still recording series like it should, timers still show properly, but if I go to the Recorded TV - Recordings section it's blank. Everything else related to live TV is working like it should. I just can't see the recording within emby. I checked the folder and confirmed it's recording and saving the files on the hard drive too.

 

I have removed the recorded TV folder twice from the library, scanned, set it up again and scanned and it still wont show any files.

I uninstalled the server, saving all the data and reinstalled server 3.3.1 still no change.

 

I moved the folder to another drive and recorded a show. It recorded and saved properly, still nothing in emby.

 

This started with the update to server 3.3.1.  I have been monitoring the forum's, but haven't seen any posts related to this. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

 

Here is the server log. I started the server then started Theater and tried to see recording around 8:47. I couldn't see anything that stood out, but I don't really know what to look for.

 

Thanks

Check the recordings path you configured to see where they are going.

Hi Luke, I have G:\Recorded TV set up in the dashboard and the recordings are going there.

@@Luke I checked the metadata manager and found the recodings link had changed by adding a 1 to the end of it.

 

C:\Users\Brain\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\root\default\Recordings1

 

I just checked my folder setup in the library and the folder picture had changed to the default 4 panel pic and renamed to Recordings1. It still shows as unset and going to G:\Recorded TV. Nothing showing in theater recordings still.

I figured it out. Since it changed the name to recordings1, I had to change the folder access for every user and check the box for Recordings1. It's now working.

 

Not sure why the folder was renamed, but at least it's working! :)

 

Thanks Luke, I just needed a push
