Catastrophic results of a DVR re-setup after deleting and setting up DVR again

Hi,

@sa2000 introduced the re-definement of different EPG and channel markups to me in another thread.

I did what I was told but either I did something terribly wrong or some of these line-ups are not okay.

A) I did an update with my Fritz!box 6491 Cable of my channel lineup. I tested it by downloading a VLC playlist. The VLC player can tune into any channel just perfectly.

B) I updated to most current PMS (1.17.0 …) on Windows.
C) I deleted the working DVR.
D) I set up a new DVR with the following configuration:
“Kabel Deutschland Brandenburg Digital”
E) A lot of channels were found and almost all matched perfectly.
F) After matching, a full EPG was fetched and it looked very good with a few exceptions.

But NOW, I cannot tune into a lot of these channels any more and most recordings fail because of this - while the VLC player still has absolutely no problems with all of the channels.

Can somebody try and help me analyze what goes wrong here?

I still can tune to “Das Erste”, for example. But (in a long list of failed channels), ZDF, for example PMS cannot live play the TV channel.

could you pick one of these as an example and get diagnostics for trying it our

So pick a channel
Show how that channel appears in the setup for the tuner - channel number . name and confirm it is accessible and can be tuned outside plex

then with debug logging enabled on the server - see https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/

restart the server
wait 5 minutes
go to settings for the DVR
click on enabled channels link
find the channel that is for the test - to show how the tuner channel is mapped and enabled
take a screenshot
exit from this screen
go to the grid and select the channel
attempt to use livetv on the channel
when it fails - take screenshot
note down the time
collect the logs
see https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/

and attach all here with details of times and what channel number / name was used
