Please let me see why a schedule recording is not going to record and allow me to force it to record. I can see on the GUIDE the “red record indicator” and I can also see on the DVR SCHEDULE the fact the show is not going to be recorded but I can not see WHY. But regardless of why it will not be recording the show, I would like to Force it to record. My current solution is, I have to go to my Emby server and schedule it to record there. This seems odd that I have to use Emby to record what Plex flat out refuses to record for me (even when I ask nicely). ---
