I run my Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD tuner on Ubuntu. I don’t have first hand knowledge of running on windows, but, my understanding is that once you open up the WinTV application in Windows, it basically holds the tuner hostage and does not release it for Plex to use, even though Plex can “see” the tuners. Re-booting may be enough, but, you might have to go into task manager and manually end certain processes to release the tuner from the WinTVs hold on it.
Translation:
Windows - “These tuners are Mine. All mine. You can’t touch them.”
Plex - “Sorry Plex user. I can’t touch the tuners.”
Confirmation in Plex Tuner Logs:
WARN - [E] http_streamer_t::handle_read: read_error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (10054)
