Recording from DRM channels

[rykr 11]

Running Emby on Ubuntu 18.10 using docker.  Seems to work well.  Did a test recording to make sure that permissions were not a problem.  Set about 10 movies to record overngiht (they are all non-drm).  Got up this morning and they were all in the recordings tab but the .ts files on all of t hem is between 60 and 80 mb. 

 

Have no idea what happened.

 

I tried to look in the logs and didnt' see anything but didn't look closely.  Using HDHomerun primes for tv sources.

 

Any thoughts on what I could check to see what happened?

 

This is on latest 3.6 beta btw.  3.6.0.81

What recording in this log failed, and at what time was it supposed to record? thanks.

[rykr 11]

Not sure I follow. They all did.  I can give you a list.

 

Tomb Raider

Underworld

A Perfect Getaway

Fifty Shades Freed

Edge of Darkness

Underworld Evolution

Rock Dog

Paddington 2

Pitch Perfect 3

The Mask

Maze Runner - Death Cure

 

They al failed with the same error

I shut down by hdhomerun docker container but I'm sure it wasn't conflicting last night.   Restarted the emby container and it started recording more movies.  I'm monitoring them now.  I'm now watching college football live so it has no problem reading and playing the streams.

[rykr 11]

It looks like it' s having a hard time playing my movie channels.  I seem to have no problems with other channels but HBO, Starz Encore, Retro, etc none of t hem will tune even though they are not DRM at all.  I can play them with tvheadend, hdhomerun.  Heck I can even play them via VLC.   But Emby just spins and spins and then declares int he log that it can't tune it.

Right I understand, there's just a lot of recordings in this log so it's easier to focus on a single one.

[Luke 42077]

Was this file created?

/data2/dvr/Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)/Sands of Iwo Jima (1949).ts

[rykr 11]

Yes, it appears to be ok.  And I don't see it listed in the log at all.

[Luke 42077]

Does it play in an external video player? is the video file the correct amount of time you were expecting?

[rykr 11]

Yes, I just trimmed it with avidemux and stuffed it back into Emby 

[Luke 42077]

So you're saying it was longer?

[rykr 11]

no no.   just a couple of minutes before and after movie.  that is by design.  I trimmed it to just the movie.  It was good.

[Luke 42077]

How long was underworld supposed to be? According to the log it started at 5:23, then completed at 7:32. Does that sound right?

[rykr 11]

That sounds right for time.   The physical fie size of the .ts file is completely wrong.  It's 81MB

[rykr 11]

A bunch more failed tonight.  At this point it seems clear that the channels that fail are the channels you would normally think of as DRM protected. Only here they are not.  I record them all the time with tvheadend which doesn't support DRM.  I can't tune those channels either.

[rykr 11]

Stand down. I've discovered the problem.  Those channels that have been clear for months have now gone back to DRM controlled.

Thanks for the feedback.
