Jellyfin and Emby users had no way to record live TV from Plezy at all: no
record button in the EPG guide's program menu, and nothing in the recordings
UI, because every recording surface was gated behind a Plex-only DVR adapter.
The recording surfaces are now backed by a MediaBrowser DVR adapter that
synthesizes the neutral (Plex-shaped) payload models from the timer APIs:
- Template comes from `GET /LiveTv/Timers/Defaults?programId=`, offering a
"Record Episode" entry and, for series airings, "Record Series". The
defaults DTO travels JSON-encoded in the template's opaque `parameters`
and setting ids are DTO field names, so the existing template-driven
record-options sheet renders and round-trips them unchanged.
- Create POSTs the mutated defaults whole to `/LiveTv/Timers` or
`/LiveTv/SeriesTimers`; a duplicate one-off create answers 400, which the
adapter rethrows as `RecordingConflictException` so the sheet can show
"Already scheduled" without a backend check.
- Scheduled recordings read `/LiveTv/Timers` minus `Cancelled`/`Completed`
tombstones, rules read `/LiveTv/SeriesTimers` with their child timers
nested. Rule keys carry a `timer:`/`series:` prefix so cancel, edit and
delete dispatch to the right timer space inside the adapter.
Guide programs now carry their recording state: the program id doubles as the
record seed, and `TimerId`/`SeriesTimerId` become the rule keys that drive the
guide's scheduled dot and the Manage action. The series key is stamped only
when an airing actually records, so an episode a series rule skips does not
show a false indicator.
Three neutrality fixes on the shared UI: the record-options sheet only demands
a target library when the template declares one (MediaBrowser records into its
own configured folder), and "Re-evaluate rules" is hidden unless a connected
DVR supports it, since only Plex has that endpoint.
`fetchDvrs` deliberately stays empty so the synthesized per-server Live TV
identity that channel fetches, favorites and playback key off is preserved.
Verified end-to-end against a disposable jellyfin/jellyfin:10.11.11 container
with an M3U tuner and XMLTV guide, driven through the real client: template,
create, duplicate conflict, cancel, series create with child grabs, edit
round-trip and delete.

Recording indicators never appeared in the EPG and the program sheet kept
offering "Record" for already-subscribed programmes, so rules were created
repeatedly (nine duplicate subscriptions in the linked report). Two defects,
both confirmed against the official web client bundle:
- The sheet's scheduled-state check called
/media/providers/<identifier>/media/subscriptions/mapping/<ratingKey>,
which 404s: PMS mounts that route under the numeric MediaProvider id from
/media/providers. The check failed instantly and unconditionally on every
platform, so the button always read "Record".
- The guide derived its dot solely from cross-matching grab metadata, and
the grab refresh issued right after scheduling raced the server
materializing the grab, wiping the optimistic key before one frame showed.
The grid response already tags subscribed airings with subscriptionID /
grandparentSubscriptionID - the signal the official client renders from.
LiveTvProgram now carries those attributes; the guide checks them first
(grab matching stays as the secondary signal) and keeps local
schedule/cancel actions authoritative until the next grid load. The sheet
resolves Record vs Manage from the tagged rule key without a network call,
falling back to the fixed numeric-id mapping route for untagged airings.
Grab parsing also accepts the nested airing under "Video", which PMS uses
for every non-scheduled grab status in JSON.

Four model surfaces parsed, coerced, and re-serialized data with zero readers: PlayQueueResponse's selectedItemIndex/offset/sourceURI/version (version stays as a parse-time validity gate), PlexUserProfile's seven non-track-selection account fields, MediaSubscriptionCreateRequest's hints/params/providers, and the whole CatalogPlayState pipeline (parsed by the Plex catalog source, merged and round-tripped on every CatalogItem, read by nobody).
