[Feature Request] Share the Live TV Program Guide and Recording Schedule with Managed Users

Apologies if this is a dup, but I searched and didnt find a similar feature request.

It seems that only the the owning user account can see the “Program Guide” and “Recording Schedule” screens. This presents a major problem when you’d like to have your kids have access to Live TV and DVR, but you don’t want them to see all your “grown up” movies that only the owning user account can see. I’d like to be able to share these screens with any Managed User account on my server, just like you can currently do with any other Library.

I do see that Plex says that “Live TV viewing cannot currently be shared. Only the Plex Media Server owner account can currently watch live TV”. (https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/115007689648). So maybe this feature is already on the development roadmap. If so, it’d be good to know.

Post from neebski he answered my post about it:-

Tons of requests for this, Plex team doesn’t discuss time tables, even if there is one for this feature.
