On a freshly started instance of Plex on my Linux server, DVR functionality initially works fine. After some (~days) uptime, I find that no scheduled recordings are successful. If I look in the log, I find the following for every recording:

Specifically, I see DVR:Recorder: Error 3 (The recording was aborted) starting the record, shutting things down. What does this mean? Alternatively how can I expose more information? Will verbose logs be more useful?
