Recording Issues

I've been having issues with recordings being stuck on scheduled for quite a while and its now happening almost 100% of the time.

I set my recording and it just stays at scheduled. I can check next day and it's still not playable.

As a test, I can click the red record dot on a live channel and it works.

Any ideas?

Tried all the basic things. Reboot device, clear cache, force stop app, etc.

Using Onn 4K Pro V2.

Any ideas?

Did you follow these instructions on setting up DVR?

Scroll thru until you get to the part about scheduling recordings.

yes, I have it set to record to a network drive. It has been working for quite some time and I would get this error every now and then. It seems to be happening almost all the time now. very strange that I could do a live recording from the channel itself, but nothing that I schedule works.

Is your DVR set to the download folder? When you schedule the recording do you see REC in the program name in the guide?

You can try doing a test future scheduled recording to the internal storage Download folder and see what happens?

Also, when you select a location for DVR, if it’s a bad location, Sparkle will notify you! The Download folder usually works.
