Pass isn't recording

mkgough · November 8, 2024, 3:13pm

I am having the same issue with an OTA channel that was working and has stopped. I deleted it tried some different settings and no go.

I do not see it in the logs either when I try to see what is happening. Other shows on the same channel record fine, I should see something like this generate, but it doesn't see anything I do with the show?

The exact same issue as the OP who can't create a pass from search results on an iOS device?

Deleted what, the pass you couldn't create or the OTA channel?

Didn't see what in the logs?

When adding to another users topic thread, we all assume you have the exact same issue, unless you specify otherwise. So you can't add a pass for any show using search results on an iOS device?

I am on AppleTV latest v18.x
I deleted the Pass that I created that is not recording
I should see the creation of the Pass in the logs after I did a test, seems to log that action was created, not seeing it for this one

chDVRuser · November 8, 2024, 5:59pm

It doesn't log the creation of a pass. You will only see log entries when the scheduler finds airings in your guide data that match the criteria from your pass.
Most likely you asked for New only airings and your guide data doesn't have any airings marked as new.
Can only guess without more specific information.

If you can post screenshots of your pass from the DVR web UI DVR > Passes showing
the Advanced tab

and Matches tab

we can provide more help.

No I selected ALL and

tried New to see if there is a difference, there wasn't.

chDVRuser · November 8, 2024, 7:06pm

That Matches tab is showing the DVR scheduled (Queued) recordings. They should appear in the DVR log and in the schedule.

If they appear in the DVR web UI, but not on your Apple TV, make sure the Apple TV is running the latest version of the Channels app.

@mkgough Did you get it working?
If you feedback it could help other users with the issue.
If you don't reply, this will automatically be the solution and this topic thread will close.

I am running ver 6.1.2 of Channels on Apple TV, so latest update so that is not the issue. Latest iOS as well that updated yesterday and did not fix the issue.

chDVRuser · November 9, 2024, 4:12am

Are you seeing the Scheduled recordings in your DVR web UI Schedule?
Are you seeing the Scheduled recordings in your AppleTV Schedule?
The DVR schedules the recordings, so look there first.
The client (iOS, tvOS, etc.) gets info from the Server.

It would help if users knew how Channels DVR works, and could then answer their questions based on that. Or ask an AI if they didn't understand.

But I don't think that will ever happen.

You can explain things to users, but then someone (users) has to read and interpret those things.
Nothing personal... Just that AI will never replace common sense and human intelligence.

When the shows come up next week I will see if anything changes, but it has been doing this for weeks now. I see the scheduled show in both the DVR and AppleTV, but it does not record, like it doesn't recognize the show is on.

If it is scheduled but not recording, check the logs for the time when the recording should have occurred. If there are issues opening a stream from the tuner, that is when they would show up, not during the guide update period where passes are assessed/scheduled.

chDVRuser · November 9, 2024, 8:55pm

Another thing to check the log for is Deleting job no longer in the guide
An airing appears in the guide data and is scheduled to record, but during a later guide update, the airing was removed from the new guide data.
It will then be removed from the schedule and won't record.

A couple examples

I don't have any in my logs for that, but will look next week when it tries to record it.
