Live TV and DVR issues on Nvidia Shield 16gb PMS v1.16.1.1291

I use my Nvidia Shield 16gb as my PMS and player for my TV. I have a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB tuner and a 2TB external drive. When i installed Plex on my Shield I used the option to move the PMS storage location to my 2TB external drive.

I have had this setup running since mid January 2019. I have had some quirks with PMS over the time but nothing that would keep me from being able to record when the tuner is being properly detected. This has me stumped and kinda wondering if there is a major bug in this update. I looked into my logs and best i can tell it is trying to store the recording on my internal media instead of my external drive.

In Plex, Settings, Transcoder, the folder is empty. I do not stream outside my house as i have limited bandwidth so idk if this needs to be changed or not. It was working fine till the last update. I only use the Shield to play items that are on my PMS and i just use it to record over the air TV so i can watch it later without commercials.

Is there some settings that got wiped with this latest update? I do have the 2015 Shield with an micro sd card slot so if i need to get one i can but i have not had to using my external drive thus far. Do i need to make a folder for the temp transcodes to go to on my external drive? Anyone know what a grab path is and how to move it on the Shield to my external drive?

The real stupid thing is that i was able to restart my Shield and it started recording a partial episode, then failed to record another one right after it. I looked through the Plex forums and this subreddit and saw nothing similar to my issues. Any help would be appreciated.

Below in spoiler tags is an excerpt from my log files:

Another issue i found when trying to record a movie shown on a TV broadcast. Now the thing wants to go to my Movies folder and i get errors in the log that show i do not have the subscription to be able to record the movie. Seriously this update is a massive step backwards, please fix these issues quickly. I have already missed out on 5 recordings thus far.
