Does the stated reason for the closure of the “ Add TV Everywhere ” feature request mean Plex plans to stop supporting cable tuners in the DVR since it is basically the same type of thing?

It’s just referring to the integration of 3rd party providers / services (as per the statement in the initial closure). This isn’t related to DVR – watching and recording live TV via a supported tuner.

A cable service is a 3rd party provider, and there are basically three types now based on how they distribute the live TV. Closed network (coax or fiber optic) cable service Internet cable service Satellite dish cable service Channels DVR has proven it is technically possible to support the first…

I’m not arguing a case… just giving the feedback given by Plex in closing this. BTW – this comment has now also been included in the Please Read: Before submitting a feature Suggestion note.

Yeah, it was closed because it was just a blind clean-up of all the various “can you add this service” requests.

Seems kind of ignorant to assume that the reason they nixed this is because they weren’t getti…

I don’t really understand how the people in that toxic thread couldn’t see that it would likely be a MASSIVE conflict of interest to integrate Qobuz when Plex already had integration and very likely an agreement with Tidal. Also thank for sharing that post to clarify what you meant when you said …
