Recording failed with "Cannot record airing in the past"

Server Version#: 1.15.1.710 on Mac mini (Late 2012)
Player Version#: 1.39 on Apple TV 4

I noticed - for the 2nd time now - that a recording failed with the message:
“Cannot record airing in the past”

It had been scheduled for 01:20 GMT on channel 300 FILM4 UK

I have attached full set of logs:

Here’s a screenshot showing the error:

i recently seen this also on my server and couldn’t figure it out. i use a hdhomerun box. seems my roomate disconnected my ethernet. check that your device that your dvr/live tv with is connected and working properly.

hope that this helps

Thanks @PlayRoy - I can’t say if there was a network issue at the time; I’ve setup a ping and log the results into a file; so if it happens again I should be able to verify if the network is causing the issue.

I’m recently getting this error as well. The error message itself is not particularly helpful.

I’m trying to record just the first 50 minutes of a 3-hour show so I have entered a -130 to the Record Minutes After End parameter. Show used to record and now, somewhat randomly, it does not.

what also i actually did was remove my dvr and add it back in. redo my scheduled recordings. things to seem to back to normal, i also stepped away from beta releases :slight_smile:
