Server Version#: 1.32.7.7621 on Ubuntu 18 on AMD x64 Player Version#: Latest nVidia Shield I can record Live TV, but with the latest update I can no longer watch a recording in progress. If I try to tune the channel being recorded I get “There was an error attempting to tune the channel.” I’m …

Same problem - Cannot watch a channel “live” while it’s being recorded by DVR (all my DVR recordings are scheduled, so this probably doesn’t happen if you manually started recording a show - but I haven’t tried). This started when I upgraded to 1.32.7.7621 Previously on 1.30.2.6563 - and I had thi…

Seems to happen any time a channel is being recorded. I just tried to tune into the 49ers-Eagles game, and it won’t tune because another user is already watching that channel and it’s therefore being buffered to disk. I am just about done with Plex honestly. Last 100 releases have been a bunch of…

I’m having the same issue with an HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO. Any time I tune to a channel and it starts a recording in progress, I cannot then tune to any channel (same or other) on another device. Plex shows that only one out of four tuners is in use, but I also get the “There was an error attemptin…

Same exact thing is happening to me. I’m running a different HD Homerun, but everything else you said is the same.

Yeah I tried a quick install on a Windows box and got the same behavior, so it’s not platform specific - or if it is it’s x64 as opposed to linux/windows Would be great if someone from Plex could at least acknowledge this. Clearly it’s a new bug. Want to know that it’s in the backlog, and I guess…

Not limited to Android. It happened using the web client on a Windows PC as well.

I just found a server update on a check, and loaded it. Everything is restarted. I’m waiting for a pre-schedule recording to start to see whether it’s fixed. I note that logging on to Plex on a browser (Chrome - Windows) I can watch a channel that’s already being recorded just fine. For me the comb…

There was no mention of this issue in the release notes, and no-one from Plex has chimed in to even acknowledge the issue, so not surprised there’s no change in the new version.

Working now - Android Client 10.5.0.4996 on Nvidia Shield, plus Media Server 1.32.8.7639 does work. More details in the other thread linked above.

Looks like an Android client issue (even though it didn’t manifest until I upgraded my server…whatever). Beta including a fix and be out soon. We’ll see.
