Why does this Movie and some others not record

Guess we're the only two users that have an issue with it.
Makes me wonder how many other users have missed recordings and no clue why they weren't scheduled.

So if a show is recording and I noticed the game has run into overtime and the recording is not the actual show and I cancel it ,,, it will never record again ? even if It airs in the future ?

Good point. I am not aware of missed recordings on my side but I'll keep an eye on it

100% correct.

Well we made our Case waiting on what the developers think.

And it's not straight forward trying to find out what was cancelled or skipped from the dvr log.

You could grep for '[DVR] Skipping job'

2023/06/07 19:00:00.001926 [DVR] Skipping job 1686189600-21 Viewfinder

Now you have have the scheduled job# 1686189600-21 which tells you what time it was scheduled for (1686189600) and what the pass# is (21).

You then have to grep for the job# '1686189600-21' to see when it got scheduled

2023/05/23 09:25:05.342151 [DVR]   queued recording job for EP007798310148 @ Wed Jun 7 7:00:00PM on ch=[706] (1686189600-21)

and look at the log to see the lines before it

2023/05/23 09:25:05.305215 [DVR] Rule 'Viewfinder-706 7PM' (21) found 1 new airings

That's just for one of them.

Yeah I am not going to do all that ... Am thinking on Just blowing away the whole DB tommorrow import everything into Emby... and Pause my seasons and generic movie passes .. drastic but I just do not understand how the benefits of this fix outweighs the side effects.

EMBY will only record any episodes that might be missing.... not in library.

When I read something like this, my mind automatically thinks that these manual steps can be automated in a script. That's how my mind works. :grin:

Call me crazy but this is the kind of thing I enjoy doing when I have some spare time.
I'm saving your post for when I decide to give it a shot. :wink:

What is funny is that I am the opposite I could probably automate a script to do this but Why ? I always try to put myself in a non-technical/MOM/POP frame of mind and Instances like this should be handled by the DVR. If I have to skip a recording or cancel a recording there should be a way to automatically re-record it if my pass says record all and record deleted.

Agreed 100%, no argument there. :handshake:

I totally agree with you ...
