I am seeing shows seemingly randomly fail to record all have the message: “Could not move recorded media to destination” See screenshot below where the same show records successfully and also fails at other airings [image] There is another thread where at least 2 others are experiencing the pro…

Would you be able to share debug level Plex Media Server log s for a time period where there was a failed recording? Hopefully it will provide a more detailed message regarding the error. Perhaps something is locking the file(s), preventing it from removing them? Do all of your recordings go to th…

I will. It just happened again and I did not have debug level turned on if that is an option. I will grab the logs as they are right now. I noticed that this particular situation had the double recording issue and then the result was “could not move recorded media to destination.” see screenshots. I…

Would you be able to post the logs you have? Debug level logging might be turned on as a default, and even if it is not they are worth reviewing. FYI, you can check the log levels that are set in Plex Web by going to Settings → General (the “General” under “Settings” on the left, not “General” und…

Thanks for the reply hokierulz. I did already have debug logging enabled as it turns out. I have also rebooted the Plex server multiple times while this issue has been occurring. The logs I captured are polluted with another misconfiguration issue that is completely unrelated as well as a media sca…

I was able to recreate the issue in the middle of the day when it was more convenient to download the logs immediately after the problem occurred. Please see attached log files. The recording that generated the error in this case was Between 2021-06-16 16:00:00 and 2021-06-16 16:30:00 on channel 7.2…

It happened again at 1:00 AM this morning when recording The X-Files (1993) - S06E16 - Alpha Error: “Could not move recorded media to destination” “The X-Files (1993) - S06E16 - Alpha.ts” file actually does get moved to destination folder segment-list.txt.tmp.002a018e-27f2-490a-b50f-9b1a2320ef14 …

Last night at 11 pm “The X-Files (1993) - S07E02 - The Sixth Extinction II Amor Fati” recorded successfully. A second recording immediately following for “The X-Files (1993) - S07E03 - Hungry” failed. See screenshot. [plex failed recording june-25-2021]

I gave up on getting anyone to take my issue seriously and just retired my Dual and haven’t had any issues since.

So a bit new with plex internal structure, if it says could not move recorded media to destination the actual file must be there somewhere right? i just cannot find it, is it possible to get it to move now that i have resolved my issue (just simple permissions that were wrong), any help would be muc…

The duplicate recording issue is described exactly in two other posts. One even mentions the HDHomerun Dual as an additional tuner possibly causing the issue which is also what I added to my configuration before this all started. I may try removing it and see how that goes:
