I’ve six tuners (two Silicondust HD Homeruns) and am wondering if it is normal to see something like this as I randomly go through adding recordings by way of the Guide:
“Conflicts with 14 recordings”
Does this mean there was somehow going to be 14 things recording at the timeslot that I attempted to add this current recording?
Should it of not thrown this 'Conflict" when it hit the 7th item that I attempted to record?
Plex is on a Windows 10x64 laptop:
Dell Latitude E6430
Intel i5-3340M CPU @ 2.70GHz
8 GB RAM
500 GB SSD boot drive
500 GB HDD in optical bay (pulled the optical drive, replaced with tray for HDD)
6TB USB 3.0 WD Drive
If you’ve been using your DVR for a while, you might have many shows set to record from before. If they were between seasons, there may not have been a conflict. Shows often go on break around the same time, so it could be a lot of them are now back and conflicting with each other. Look at your DVR schedule to see what the actual conflicts are.

Yes, to 14 items recording at the same time? , when I have Six Tuners physically available? Can I ask how that is possible?
New conflicts?.. This Plex install was new, with no recordings set at all, My goal was to ‘load it up’ with scheduled recordings, and I purposely started at a specific time, and started adding recordings. I did not count how many recordings I had set. So, I was surprised when I got my first conflict at 14, and not at 7 (7 being one more than the physical tuners available on my network)
Perhaps Plex has logic built into it, to where Plex gets to that 7th request for a recording, Plex looks at the 7 recording request, and if it finds an opportunity to record one of the 7 at another time frame, it doesn’t tell the end user that it is doing so, and just meets the need to record all 7 items, regardless of airing time? (provided the defaults of “Limit to Channel” and “Limit to Airing Time” are still set to “Any”
Perhaps someone from Plex Inc. can chime in here and let me know how Plex is able record more shows at a given time slot than the available tuners available to Plex at that time? I’m sure there is a completely logical explanation.
The conflict means there are items scheduled to record. Plex still can’t record all of them, hence the conflict warning. Why it didn’t show the conflict before there was 14, I can’t say. Maybe it did, and you didn’t notice it. If you look at the schedule page, it should show you the actual conflicts.
