Hello, new here but I thought I would post see if I can get some help.  
I have Plex version 1.26.2.5797 running in a LXC container of Debian 11 on a Proxmox server. I’m having issues recording a series of different shows with no rhyme or reason. Plex says it is recorded successfully but there is no file created to watch. Here’s some screen shots.

Along with this, sometimes it will record the first episode, then not the rest for each day, or will miss them all. I have recording set to new and repeat… so thats not an issue.

I have attempted reinstalling plex, reinstalling the DVRtuner (HD homerun), all packages are up to date, refreshing guide over and over…

Anyone else have this problem.

Would you please provide debug level [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) covering the period of a failed recording? Hopefully these logs will provide insight on the issue.
