    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?
