(Bug) Not recording tv shows

After upgrading my WD NAS (PR4100) to PlexMediaServer-1.26.0.5715-8cf78dab3-MyCloudPR4100_OS5 last Thursday plex stopped recording all news shows except “60 minutes”. It records all of my other shows fine but it deletes all of my news shows as soon as it finishes recording them before they show up in my library. It happens on at least seven different scheduled news shows on three different over the air stations. I also tried upgrading to PlexMediaServer-1.26.1.5762-912e6f050-MyCloudPR4100_OS5 and had the same problem.

In my logs an example of a show that was deleted as soon as it finished recording is: Apr 26, 2022 17:59:59.668 [0x7efede253b38] DEBUG - [Grabber/e9082655a24c2ebb952a92133a32883dfabcf6bc] Recording for ‘Fox 32 News at 5 - Fox 32 News at 5’ on channel 5fc76c177c6557002efca691-5fc705da4c4901002fec3a67 stopped with status complete.

I think it is deleting it because it thinks it is 3 days old: Apr 26, 2022 18:00:03.195 [0x7efed9dcdb38] DEBUG - [Grabber/e9082655a24c2ebb952a92133a32883dfabcf6bc] Garbage Collector: Deleting episode -1 - Fox 32 News at 5 (beyond window of 3 days old)

I reinstalled the old version PlexMediaServer-1.25.9.5721-965587f64-MyCloudPR4100_OS5 and do not have the problem.

Apr 26, 2022 18:00:03.178 [0x7efed9dcdb38] DEBUG - [Grabber/e9082655a24c2ebb952a92133a32883dfabcf6bc] Garbage Collector: Deleting expired unwatched content for Fox 32 News at 5 (policy: -3 before 2022-04-23)

A fix for this was released today in beta 1.26.1.5798

There were also other date related fixes and it is advisable to run a manual DVR EPG Refresh after the update

I installed the new PlexMediaServer-1.26.1.5798-99a4a6ac9-MyCloudPR4100_OS5.bin and everything seems to be working correctly. Thanks!
