Wrong recording location - jeremyquinn - 2025-11-30
I have recently started using Jellyfin (10.11.3) server, installed on MacOS.
I have set it up with a Live TV Tuner using M3U to a VBox tuner, plus XMLTV based EPG.
I am able to view live streams and make recordings.
In the
Live TV/DVR section of the dashboard, I configured both the File recording path and the Programmes recording path to locations on an external drive, the same one where I keep my libraries.Because:
1. I do not want to keep large media files on my boot drive.
2. We are told not to mix TV & Movies.
3. I wanted to add these two paths to my existing Movie and TV libraries.
What I am finding is that TV shows are saved to the configured path for programmes, however films are still being saved in the
Default recording path.I have checked that the permissions are correct.
I have reconfigured and saved the paths several times.
Does anyone have suggestions to resolve this?

Did you set the location for movie recordings?
