DVR missed some recordings but got some

I had multiple shows scheduled to record tonight. For some reason, it skipped Will and Grace and Life in Pieces. It did record Big Band Theory, Young Sheldon, and Superstore. I went through the logs but all I can see if that it found the new Will and Grace episode but did not record it

I also saw that i tried to record Life in Pieces but said it was aborted. Any idea how I can figure out why? My log files are attached.

My plex server is on Ubuntu. My libraries are on a NAS. I have an HD run quatro.

Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to assist me

The reason for no will and Grace is because it found it in your library. If this is the new remake my guess is you have the old show. I haev found remakes of old shows to be problems especially when they give them the exact same name. For Example Macgyver. I have the old ones and for the life of me cant get the new show to record.

The other one looked like it had trouble getting a tuner even though it seems like one should have been available. It could transfer the media.

I have been having the same issues. Some recordings work perfectly fine, others I am getting a mixed bag of issues. I don’t record anything on plex that I don’t mind getting screwed up somehow because it just isn’t stable enough. WMC is a champ…I prefer Plex and can’t wait for the stability so I can make the permanent switch, but right now WMC is just the go to. I’m more than happy to provide logs, but I don’t want to spam the message boards every time I have a problem. I am sure I am missing some of the DVR errors anyway because the schedule doesn’t retain an item that failed. It would be nice to see the history of errors, but it would look a lot worse than it does now.
