Missed Recording?

Tonight I was scanning through some of my TV Shows and happened to be looking at Young Sheldon. I noticed that I am missing Episode 15 for some reason which aired last Thursday. Tonight's episode was 16 and the one I have before that is Episode 14.

I can't find any log that goes back that far to see if there was some error, unless I am just missing where that log could be.

It's odd because earlier today I thought I may be missing a random episode of Walker as well because I didn't have episode 9 in my DVR anywhere. On that one though I did start recording it late in the season because I had forgotten about it so I downloaded the 1st few from Playon. I thought perhaps it was just an anomaly so I downloaded the missing episode earlier today.

Is there some way to go back to last Thursday and see if there was some error?

You can see the full log c:\programdata\channelsdvr\data\channels-dvr.log

Ok, I will look at that and see if anything jumps out at that time.

Wow. While it doesn't explain why it didn't record that episode (or maybe it does), that was the day I was noticing major issues with the computer that Channels was installed on alongside Emby. The computer had been giving me grief off and on by locking up on me and shutting down on occasion. That particular day I decided to move everything over to my gaming computer until I can build a new one for media only.

The weird thing is that I recall waiting until after Young Sheldon finished recording at 8:30pm before shutting it down and moving everything over to the other computer. Since my Channels recordings are all on an external drive it's very easy to move it to another location. The current log starts up at 9:00pm on that day the recording is missing.

So, now I think the computer must have locked up just before Young Sheldon was supposed to start recording and it just never started. Since I uninstalled Channels on that computer I can't look at that log either.

Oh well, I will keep my eye on this and see if anything like it happens again but I don't think it will.
