Once again, my SVR will miss a program my wife wants to watch. The Guide says it is scheduled to record. It is listed as a new episode. But DVR schedule does not list it as scheduled. And even though I’ve learned to monitor everything, and found the problem, since there is no way to record manually, I cannot do anything about it.
Tried cancelling recording and recreating it. Still not on the schedule.
So frustrating.
Show - Modern Family - Same thing happened on Grey’s Anatomy a few weeks ago too.
Linux server - Version 1.18.6.2368
HDHR tuners
Had this happen a few years ago. A pain, but I deleted all scheduled recordings. Deleted the DVR. Restarted the Plex service. Added the DVR back. Then added all the recordings. Has not missed a beat over the last two years. Something may get corrupt in the recording schedule.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m injured and can’t really type or do anything computer-wise, but Modern Family won’t record again this week, and for some reason Plex won’t let me manually record on a particular day, time, and channel. I don’t understand that design decision.
SO I just did as sparky suggested. Deleted all recordings and the DVR, set up the tuners again. Tried to program it to record shows. NOTHING IS RECORDING NOW.
Went in and changed all recordings to record all shows, not just new, and some of them will record now, but some will not.
The DVR function is the only thing I need from Plex and it doesnt’ strike me as a very complex one, but i’m looking at a week of my wife missing half of her shows. I know it is going to happen and there is nothing I can do about it.
Still no manual recording?
Plex is pretty good when it works, and when it doesn’t it’s a black box and you’re screwed.
Apparently avoiding finger surgery. Let’s see if I can get some logs up.
Here are some logs. Some shows I’ve notice that aren’t recording even though it’s on record all and some are new anyways include –
Zoe’s Infinite Playlist
Modern Family
Some others are missing, but I think that’s because they’re off the air this week.
Is there a way to see a list of everything scheduled, even if it’s isn’t on the calendar soon?
I clicked all of the things because the console was blank. I’ll turn that off, thanks.
For the not new episodes, I think everything is set for “record new and repeat.”
Edit - just checked – Zoey is new. Modern Family is not this week, but the last two weeks that did not record were. The others are not new, but for all of them, they are set for new and repeat. None are showing up on the DVR schedule. It seems like everything else is, and is working with “new only”
Now, not only is does the EPG disagree with TItanTV and my local NBC affiliate about what time things are on tomorrow, but even though “This Is Us” is supposed to be new, the DVR is not scheduled to record it.
Currently, Plex thinks it is recording New Amsterdam (Tuesday from 8:00-9:00), but it is really on from 9:00-10:00. I guess I could tell it to record “ellen’s Game of Games” which it thinks is 9:00. Hopefully that does it and further hopefully I can keep it all straight and sort out all the renaming and moving that will need to happen later.
I don’t know, but I don’t know why that would affect only one station and cause the EPG to put the 7:00 show at 9:00, and move the 8:00 and 9:00 shows earlier.
I did restart it just now. Yesterday’s mess has come and gone. It has now added Modern Family back to the DVR schedule for next week. At first glance, everything that is supposed to be there is for now.
It’s not just one show. That specific issue was a series of shows on one channel on one day, that was probably another EPG issue, but the repeated problems of shows being correct on the EPG and the EPG claiming they were going to record but it never getting to the DVR schedule. That is multiple shows, multiple channels, multiple weeks. And because these issues and there continue to be one-off issues with the EPG, it boggles my mind why there isn’t an option to program the recorder by time and channel, or completely manually tell it to record this channel right now until I stop it. I’m not a programmer, so maybe I don’t understand the complexities involved, but as a user, it seems insane.
