Didn't record show / Nothing in logs

Same here, didn’t record and nothing in the logs.

Seems like maybe the guide database didn’t have it marked as New, so it never matched and setup a job.

Checked the provider DB and yesterday’s airing was definitely marked New.

Very strange… I had a bunch of other shows record last night without issue…

Do you remember seeing The Mick listed on the schedule for yesterday?

I don’t remember seeing it on the schedule, but I didn’t look yesterday only Monday night so I could be misremembering. I didn’t actually notice The Mick was supposed to be on last night until I got to the end of New Girl and it went into the beginning of The Mick.

And yeah, I had a bunch of stuff record last night too without an issue. This is the first time I’ve seen something not record.

It didn’t record Modern family tonight. It wasn’t listed on the schedule, but it was showing as queued on the web app (still just showing as queue). The logs don’t show anything.

What is the last message in the log that’s like “Waiting … until next job”?

I wonder if you hit the same bug as DVR Missed Recording First 1.5 hrs of the Oscars

Sent, thanks for looking into it.

Oh it’s not on the schedule? Interesting…

If you click on the “queued” what does it say?

It’s gone now so I can’t click it. It showed as Queued on the Passes section, and in the Guide, but in scheduled it wasn’t there. I looked before and after the updated DVR from today.

Gotcha.

What does it say on http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/programs/EP011581240210

Exactly the same thing happened to me - Modern Family tonight was showing in the guide as if it would be recorded (yellow on Apple TV, red icon on web), but it was not listed in the DVR section. Nothing in the logs at the time the recording should have started.

I’m not sure the sequence of events, but at one point I clicked the “queued” drop down on the web, and I think it said something like “job not found”.

I ended up cancelling the recording, deleting my season pass, and created a new pass, just so it would record,so I might have destroyed whatever evidence you’d want. :slight_smile:

Whoa! This happened to me tonight too. Modern Family didn’t record as it was supposed to. Aman, I should still have the logs if you want to see them.

A few pics from the time:

Would like to know what that URL says for everyone too.

Email in logs if you have them.

Interestingly, I added a pass for Modern Family after seeing this thread and tonight’s episode recorded fine (when it aired on the west coast).

Mine says: “queued-1487826000-1”

“”

:joy:

Okay, I think I figured out what happened here.

Every episode has a unique ID, and the DVR uses that to keep track of what’s recorded or queued already to avoid making multiple recordings of the same episode. The ID for yesterday’s episode was EP011581240210.

In this case, it seems like the guide data was incorrect a few weeks ago. The episode that aired on 2/22 was originally listed as EP011581240210 but was fixed before the episode actually aired. This caused a stale entry in the database which made the DVR think that that episode had been queued up to record, even though the job it was referred to 1) was for another episode and 2) had already expired.

I’ve made a fix to prevent this from happening again.

Glad you could track it down, thanks!

I’m guess this is still a different bug from my Oscar’s one the other day, since that one at least recorded part way thru?
