Plex shows up the Channel without problems and I can select the one I need and map it to the build in EPG.
If scan has finished I noticed that some TV-Shows not showing up in EPG.
So for example if I click on “Tagesschau” (Newsshow, multiple on one day are aired) I can see some multiple entries.
Now I noticed that some of the airings are missed in this view. The daily main show isn’t showing up.
So I take a look on my iPhone at the main time and then I see, that the show is correctly named as “Tagesschau” as expected.
But… I can’t find it on the EPG. So anything must be wrong (maybe more in the logic of how plex shows the epg and not the epg source).
Show is also not in EPG if I select to add only this specific channel to Plex.
Any Ideas how I can solve this issue? Anyone has similar issues like this? What am I doing wrong? Or is it really just an issue in how plex is processing the epg?
I will report it there… thanks.
I don’t think it is a input Data issue. I think it is a issue in the plex logic … plex does combine multiple “Tagesschau” to one “Show” but also from different channels. So the News-Show from Channel A and Channel B both call it “Tagesschau” but this is not really an issue. I can select it in the recording settings. What I don’t understand is, why? Because the info about the show is showing when I look at “Watch Now” at the time the show is aired.

Does it help to limit the channel in the advanced recording options to only the channel you want?
No… Then it simply doesn’t record anything.
If I select “all” it Record all the shows which are in the Show “Tagesschau” listed, but not this one I want.
I can only record it by wait until it starts and record it manually and with settings “only this episode”.
@rodgerzeisler said:
Are you picking New and Repeat Airings or only New Airings?
Tried both. If I select to record all, only the shows plex are showing are recorded. The one that doesn’t appear on plex is also not recorded Maybe I should make some screenshots to explain.
Recording of this show works (on other Channels and also on this on but only for the show at 01:00pm and 06:00pm)
If I switch to live state, I can see on this channel at 07:30pm the correct EPG information about the Show. So gernerally EPG info is right.
I have the same problem on a second channel too. I think it has something to do with the name.. because different shows are aired with the exactly same name 3 times a day. So I can only record the first on of the day.
A little bit. So when you switch to Live at 7:30 pm and the correct EPG information about the show is present, give me a screen shot of what EPG is reporting. My guess is if the 7:30 pm show is not showing up under the Tagesschau listing, that it must be showing up under another show listing, otherwise you would not see the EPG info when you watched it via Live TV.
Is there another Tagesschau (Daily News) that the 7:30 pm show might be listed under? If you go to the Program Guide, and change the filtering to News -> All -> Episodes -> By Airing, can you find the 7:30 pm show?
Will try to take a screenshot today. Have to wait to the next airing.. but the reason to record the show is, that I don’t have the time to watch it
If I try your suggestion:
The show directly before is called “SRF Börse” and begins at 07:25pm. As you can see, there is no “Tagesschau” until this one at 08:00pm which is one on another channel.
One thing looks interesting to me:
The show “Tagesschau” is aired on the wanted channel at 12:45-13:00, 17:40-18:00 and 19:30-19:55.
Plex only shows this one at 12:45.
The one that is called “Tagesschau Nacht” aired at 23:30-23:45 I can also find in plex.
So there must be an issue how Plex does summarize TV-Shows.
I was going by your Edit2 of the post saying it was recording. Can you so the following:
Go to Settings/Server and ensure that debug logging is turned on, verbose logging is turned off, and that include server token in logs is turned off.
Stop Plex.
Restart Plex
Refresh the Program Guide
When guide refresh is done wait about 5 minutes. Want to give Plex time after the guide refresh to run through looking for scheduled programs to record.
Download logs from Settings/Server/Help and post the zip file of logs downloaded.
Don’t know if it will show anything, possibly not if the shows are different names. I’ll try to look over the logs over the next few days.
Then it simply doesn’t record anything.
Have to wait to the next airing.. but the reason to record the show is, that I don’t have the time to watch it
