Had a recording scheduled and it was missed, how do I find out why?

How can I check why the recording I had scheduled for this morning at 8:00 AM was missed?

 

Using the latest beta for Windows Server and the Android TV client.

 

Tuner: IPTV M3u

 

I scheduled it last time and it had the red dot in the guide. Today I noticed that it was missed. Which log would have information of why it was missed?

Hi, why do you feel it was missed?

[josemiel25 3]

Because I don't see it under recordings or I don't see that it created the recording folder or the file at all in the recordings folder on the server and the show is over now and I'm positive I scheduled it and it even showed in the guide as scheduled for recording last night.

I would love to know the same, i.e., on any given day, other than me manually monitoring the service, is there something in Emby which tells me a scheduled recording did not happen, maybe emby was not running, maybe the tuner had a problem, the station had a problem, who knows what. I'd love to be able to know so I could try and manually reschedule it if it is shown again.

I, too would like Emby to generate a message or log or something when a recording that WAS scheduled was not done.  I don't think this would need to include when a user actually DELETES the task, although if Emby generated a "Scheduled Recording" log there would be no harm in this info being written to the log.

 

There have been times that I am POSITIVE I have scheduled a recording a few days before the show was to air, only to find out later it either didn't record OR I was lucky enough to check the schedule on the day the program was to air and find it is not listed as being scheduled.  I have suspected the reason for this might have been something in the Schedules Direct info changed that caused Emby to think the specific program I told it to record no longer exists.  I don't know how Emby identifies a program ... if it's by name, then maybe the name slightly changed.  Or if it's by a numeric ID that we (as users) can't see, perhaps it changed between the time I scheduled the recording and when the day of the recording arrived.

Hi.  There are a lot of things  we need in this general area of conflict management and recording history.  We plan to have these in the future.

 

Thanks.

I appreciate your efforts.  Emby is a great system with GREAT support!

@ can we please see the emby server log from the time of the recording? You can learn how to do that here:

Thanks.
