Digital Video Recorder Tab missing

Added by Ralf Loeffler over 7 years ago

Hi,

I use tvheadend since long on my Synology NSA and am very pleased with it, thanks to the developers for creating such a nice piece of software.

Recently I had trouble with my HDHR3-US tuner, and long story short, I uninstalled the older tvheadend version I had (forgot the version number) and reinstalled tvheadend-testing version 4.1.2409 via the synology package tool.
I set it up again, however now I am missing the "Digital Video Recorder" tab. Also the "Create AutoRec" button on the EPG page is greyed out (see attached screenshot).
Any help or pointer is very much appreciated!

Ralf

Check the user configuration. Make sure the user has DVR rights etc.

Thanks much, that did the trick, I was wondering how it got missing in the first place...

Hi,

I have the same problem on my DS414. I then went on to use Kodi to set the recording schedules...

When I tried to adjust the user rights you mentioned, Tvheadend did not start again. As I do not know where to look for Tvheadend's logs on the NAS, I reinstalled it from scratch. Since then, I refrained from further tampering with the user rights.

Could you please tell me exactly which settings you changed (before/after) in order to see the DVR tab?
Are these settings accessible in human-readable form somewhere in the directory structure so that I can fix "bad" settings without reinstalling?

I use the latest tvheadend-testing from http://syno.dierkse.nl/.

Kind regards,
El Wood

Just installed latest version of tvheadend-testing from http://syno.dierkse.nl/ on DS412+ and having same issue. The "Create AutoRec" button is greyed out as described by the original poster and while I can modify the Digital Video Recorder Profile Parameters, there is no option to record. I have verified that user configuration tab has DVR rights enabled and have even tried disabling and re-enabling the checkbox without success. Everything else seems to be working fine in TVH which was able to scan all channels fine and stream to client normally but recording is totally missing. I've already wiped out the install and re-installed and the same issue persists. Bad bug? :( Any suggestions what else to try? Thank you.

I had the same issue on a Syno NAS.

Installed the latest 'test' build, but there were no recording functions.

Then went back to the 4.0.9 version that's available for the Syno, and this works OK!

Strange, maybe it's a build issue?!?

Cheers

Will.
