I have had a problem for at least a month, that I get "Playback failed" when trying to play different recordings. I look in the log and it says Recording XXX ... missing. I opened up Manage Recordings Database, and it tells me there are 474 missing/deleted files. When I go find the file on my NVIDIA Shield, I have external storage, I can find the recording and play it with the native player. So how come Channels says it is missing, when I can see they are there with everything else? I don't know what I can do here. I don't think restoring some backup database will be helpful, nor would I know which one to restore, or how to do it. I feel like this has to be due to the not so recent Android update. Any ideas?
What is the full message in the log

This is the full path where it's looking.
What is the full path shown in the file explorer where the files actually live?
Ok, looks like there was a discrepency in the path. I see that somewhere down the line, the path changed. I added the other Storage Path, and now everything looks back to normal. I'm thinking I should just leave this as-is because it is working, and not consolidate them into one of these paths. Thanks for the help!
Yes that seems reasonable.
