I share my plex pass server with a few other Plex accounts and I am really wanting to get started with PLEX DVR/Live TV.
Will I be able to not only stream Live TV remotely, but can I share that with Plex Friends/Family accounts too??
You can access Live TV and DVR remotely. Currently only the admin can stream Live TV and schedule DVR recordings. Currently only iOS and Android TV I believe have access to Live TV feature. I don’t know if you would want to allow other users to stream the Live TV unless you have a really nice upload bandwidth.
Wouldn’t streaming live tv shows the same as streaming that same episode from my server as a file?
I am not sure if the Live TV would be transcoded like a recorded episode. If it is there probably wouldn’t be a difference, since Plex is basically recording the show while it is being watched it probably does get transcoded to whatever remote settings perhaps. Couldn’t try to test this as I am home now and apparently can’t do Live TV over Cellular network. Tried turning off WiFi and no Live TV in iOS app, turn WiFi on and Live TV is back. Will try to remember to test it out tomorrow at lunch at work to see how it works.
Can you please confirm if this works as I tried connecting to a remote server with my login credentials and I didn’t get the guide.
Thanks
Only works in iOS and Android TV, not the web interface.

If I log into my web interface in location A, I can see the program guide for the Server in location B with the HD Homerun and am able to manage recordings etc. If I launch my Nvidia Shield running as a client in location A and connect to the Plex Server in location B, I only see the libraries. I am using the same Plex subscriber account in both.
Thanks
