I've got Channels DVR loaded on my Synology server and access it through my Android TV or my web browser. Setting recording priorities has been a nightmare. To get to recording priorities, you go to DVR / Passes / Adjust Priority (click on the gear icon).
The problem is that I change priorities and click save, but it doesn't keep the priority. It takes me several attempts to change them before they stick. Does anyone else have this problem?
Are you only having the issue on the Android client, or the web browser as well?
I've never had an issue, but I always first sort the list by Priority before clicking Adjust Priority and making changes. I know when you click Adjust Priority it's supposed to sort them first.
What version is your Channels DVR?
I just looked at the json data for my passes and the Priority numbers are off a bit.
There are two 0's and 3 and 7 are missing. That was on one server, other one is missing priority slots 0-5.
I have the same problem on both.
My version is 2020.09.14.2100
Something is definitely weird about the priorities.

Refering to my post above.
The non-contiguous and missing priority numbers got straightened out after I sorted by priority, adjusted priority (without moving anything) and saved.
DVR v2020.11.26.0632 if it matters.
Thanks, that seems to work on the web browser. But I don't think the option to sort by priority exists on Android TV, does it?
Not sure about Android (don't have one), but on the iOS version, Settings>Your Passes displays them in Priority order (no other sort selecdtion available) and lets you rearrange priority.
So maybe it's coming to Android?
Yes, it shows it in priority order but doesn't give the option to change the view order. Unfortunately, merely showing the list in priority order doesn't seem to have any beneficial impact on this working properly on Android.
