Might be nice to be able to mark the placeholder as new/live so we can have multiple recordings in the same time slot.
You can set your pass to All if you want that

Okay, in the past, that wouldn't work because it would see it as a repeat. But I've never tried it with placeholders. Thanks!

I think this is related to the new placeholder guide data and series pass.
Have a pass that uses negative pre and post padding to record from 3:30PM to 3:40PM.

Channels DVR deleted the scheduled recording before it was scheduled to start.

Don't spin your wheels too hard on this one DVR Pre-Release: Placeholder guide data - #24 by chDVRuser unless something obvious.
These are Canary recordings (I don't need them, just used to discover when TVE tokens expire)
I have the same recordings setup on another dvr (just the start time of recording is different, same channels and padding) and they worked today. I also have hsltube recordings setup on another dvr recording the whole hour without padding and they worked today.
I think it may be a fluke with me having set series passes and the recent updates.
Will let you know how these same recordings go tomorrow. All dvrs now running v2022.09.01.2101

It would be nice if the recording showed up with the "Pass Name" rather than the "Placeholder Name" The name of the pass is editable and can be more descriptive.
The name of the recorded show is also editable.

Ah, forgot about that. Channels is getting so big, I'm having trouble remembering it all. Thanks for the tip.

I guess it’s known that shows that are set to record or are recording via this method do not show as such on the program guide in the latest iOS beta?
They should be. Are they marked correctly on the DVR web UI version of the program guide?

Pretty sure that's what it was.
All placeholder recordings on three servers recorded today, no issues.
They show as recording on the main page of the web admin. Haven’t checked the guide. Definitely not showing as red or yellow in the guide on either AppleTV beta or iPhone beta.
EDIT: Not showing on the web admin guide either.

They show on my web UI guide (for tomorrow). Since the fake EPG only runs until tomorrow at midnight, they may not show for scheduled recordings this Sunday or later.
What I did to test was just set something to record then immediately go check the guide. It doesn’t show for me in that scenario. But it does on other “normal” channels. Not a huge deal but thought I would report it.
Did you manually pick it from the guide to record, or is it a pass?
Mine are scheduled from a pass.
Just picked one from the guide (in the dvr web UI) to record at 9PM tonight and it shows in
DVR > Calendar
DVR > Schedule
Live TV > Guide
I don't normally use the clients, so I just checked on it in the web UI.
Afterthought: Are you running the latest dvr pre-release version 2022.09.01.2101?
I manually picked from the guide.
It’s shows in the schedule but not in the guide or calendar.
From a client (TVOS, iOS) or the web UI.
I’ve tried both but most recently iOS.
Again, not a huge deal to me, but I’m happy to supply logs or whatever if helpful.
In the client or the web UI?
