Some Series Passes Not Recording

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

My Server is running on an NVIDIA Shield. Most of my series passes work but I have a couple of programs that will not record using the Series Pass. They will record if I manually set them to record. I am able to set up the Series Pass for these programs and I get not errors, but the programs will never show up in the Guide as being scheduled to record. I have tried everything I can think of doing to get these to record such as deleting the passes and re-establishing them, and moving them up in the priority to record. I don't see any error in the logs. I read something about originally programs that had recorded in the past might not be recorded but thought that had been corrected some time ago?

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Try recording All instead of New?

I have had this issue before. It usually happens when the series new season starts. I have had lots of them this new season where I had to recreate them. Mostly its the daytime shows like Family Feud where I had to delete the old pass and create new one. I tried what tmm1 above said but it didn't work. It might have something to do with the series Id and if that changes with new seasons.

Also keep in mind that if the DVR has ever recorded an episode in the past, it will not record it again by default. Even if the recording has been deleted. You can change this behavior in the DVR admin console. Edit the advanced pass settings and select “re-record deleted episodes”. See if that helps.

Thank you to those who replied to my issue. I tried them all. As it turned out the information from Macnbaish solved the issue. By checking the "record deleted episodes" for the shows in question, the issue was corrected. Thank you again.
