I have Channels DVR running on a Mac. Up until recently, I could see what was recording now. This no longer seems to be the case. I assume this is due to a software update. Can someone tell me where to find this information. It's important to know, because I avoid restarting the Mac while recordings are in progress.
Thanks!
Where was it showing before? What shows there now?
I could get to it under the Library tab/TV Shows, which seems to have changed.
You can check either the Activity section on the Settings tab, or the DVR > Schedule tab.
Did you remove the recordings tab?
The Recordings tab has been beefed up, and is now found under DVR > Manage.
Thanks all. I don't see anything under DVR/Schedule or DVR/Manage. Is it possible that it doesn't show up if there is nothing downloading now (which is less useful than saying nothing is downloading)? I'm only guessing, since I don't know if anything is downloading.
If there is nothing listed there, then you have no recordings, nor anything scheduled to record.
I have lots of recordings and passes. There used to be a tab on the left that said "Recording Now." I don't see that tab anymore, and all of the Library/TV Shows page has changed -- suggesting that this happened with the update yesterday. I'm assuming that's when the Recording Now feature went away. I'm now using version 2021.03.16.1916.
Are you referring to the Recordings page of the client app, which lists the last 2 weeks of recordings, sorted newest first? If so, that is enabled/disabled on the client app by going to Settings > General > Manage Navigation.
Or are you referring to the Recordings top-level page of the DVR's web UI? That page has been removed/split. Its functionality has been either moved to the Library tab, which largely mimics the client apps' behavior; or the Recordings > All Recordings section of that page has been moved to DVR > Manage, and enhanced with additional features, including bulk editing abilities.
Or are you referring to something else? It's not quite exactly clear what you are referring to.
Thanks racameron. I'm referring to the DVR's web UI. The part of the functionality that moved to DVR/Manage seems to no longer have "Recording Now" and I can't find that recording now feature anywhere else in the DVR web UI.
Sorry, I was talking about the device...
In the DVR web UI, you can see what is currently recording in 3 different places:
The first will display what the DVR is currently doing, including when it is recording, serving a stream to a client, running a commercial detection process on a recording, and other tasks.
The second will show which programs are scheduled to be recorded, as well as show the currently recording programs at the top of the list.
The third will (by default) show a listing of all recordings, with in-progress recordings appearing at the top of the list. (This section is divided between TV Shows and Movies, but the functionality is the same between the two.)
If none of these options are what you are looking for, then I am not sure what to tell you. But your original question was:
That information is presented in each of the locations I mention above.
Thanks racameron. Very helpful!
