My server auto updated to 1.13.5395 and now Live TV and DVR doesnt work at all. I can browse the guide but not watch anything and nothing has recorded since 24th Sept!
Theres several other threads reporting recordings not working with this version but the reality is that both main features - Recording + Live TV - are broken. At least with USB Tuner Hauppage Wind TV dualHD. I dont have any other tuners to test.
If I roll back to 1.13.7.5369, then it works again (you have to uninstall later version, and get the older installer from the Plex updates folder in āC:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Updatesā)
Ive got massive gaps in my recordings now which has ruined my viewing of one particular show. Where was the testing procedure? This version is released now yet clearly wasnt tested even with officially supported tuners.
I had a similar problem with my hdhomerun duo what fix my issue was doing a firmware update on it and It started working again. You might want to check if there is a wintv firmware update for yours update it and then update plex to the latest version again hope it works. Trust me I know your frustration I have some of my own I wish I hadnāt bought the lifetime plex subscription at this point
There is a recent update to the s/w and drivers for WinTV, but i dont notice much different with it
I can get mine to work, but you need to babysit it
If the tuner is not used, then after a few hours Plex has trouble accessing it, failed recordings and unable to tune channel on live tv
When its getting close to recording time, bring up live tv on the server, might fail on first attempt so try another channel and this should work
Recordings should then work for the next few hours
I did initally roll back to 1.13.7 and everything was perfect, but then a newer 1.13.8 was rleased so tried it, this still had issues and havent rolled back again yet, putting up with it in the hope of a fix soon
This is what the logs show - please tell me what is wrong

In this forum topic we are not talking about thumbnail generation and transcoding issues. You posts months back saying it is not working and then 2 months later saying DVR is still broken
The transcoder thumbnail issues are covered by the other forum topic
The issues with the Guide and Timeouts on tuning were already fixed. So not sure what this forum topic is about now - what is still broken in 1.14.0.5468 / 1.14.0.5470 that you said broke in 1.13.8.5395 in your first post here?
Sorry yes, my bad Ive confused the issues by talking about the transcoder thumb errors in this thread which is about Live TV and DVR being broken in v1.13.8.5395+
Be interesting how you find the live tv in the .5470 version, for me this version causes failed recordings, though i have just upgraded again to test a few recordings later
The one that works without issues for me is 1.13.9.5456, every other 1.13 and 1.14 versons have given me a transcoder error
Ok Ive just tested with v1.14.0.5470 and Live TV & DVR is still broken. You should see the errors just after 11am 30 Nov 18 (today just now) as I tried to watch live TV on a few channels. After repeated attempts only one time it did work which is an improvement I guess but one in 6 is still useless, the recording process doubtless gives up after one go.
