I have tried this on 2 PC's, one is a recent Dell desktop and more recently an ASUS laptop. The ASUS is dedicated to channels and I record to its drive. It will record on the day that I set up the show, but anything, including series, that I arrange for the next day, fails to record. I have the ASUS set up to never turn off, even when I close the lid, but the shows don't show up the next day. Any ideas?
Maybe you've disabled hibernation, but not sleep? Can you still access the Channels DVR WebUI the next day?
Thanks. Yes, I believe that I disabled sleep. I have it set to never sleep when plugged in and only after an hour if unplugged. I should add that I am getting IPTV from DROGON and have it set up to check guide every 6 hours, though I will doubled check that.
If that's the Source you're trying to record from, most likely their guide data isn't supplying a unique Program ID for each episode, so Channels DVR thinks every episode is the same one and won't record it more than once.
Post a Series Pass that's not working (showing Advanced and Matches tabs).
I will try that tomorrow. I did find that with the new server it was instructed to update the guide once a day. I changed that in the CHANNELS App to update hourly. I will set it to record something tomorrow morning and see if that works. BTW, when I open the lid on the laptop in the morning it is on so it didn't shut off or go to sleep.
Thanks for all the help. My laptop recorded two shows early this mornin, so the answer appears to be setting the server to update the program guide hourly. It took a bit of diving into settings to find it. Hopefully I am set. I have really good internet service and a solid mesh setup, so I didn't have to hardwire the laptop. I will have to wait to see if it records series properly, as I don't have any series set for the weekend.
