Is it possible yet to DVR live TV on a cloud-based Plex media server? FYI, I’ve got the [HDHomeRun Connect](https://www.silicondust.com/product/hdhomerun-connect/) ---

It’s possible if you mount your cloud storage locally.l like that post said. But to DVR directly to the cloud without an intermediate step (mount) isn’t possible. ---

The user has installed the normal desktop version on his ‘root server’, which is located in a datacenter. It is not recommended to do it that way, unless you absolutely know what you are doing. ---

But to DVR directly to the cloud without an intermediate step (mount) isn’t possible. Thanks for this link, got this working on a Google Cloud hosted Plex Server! Also @OttoKerner I think the OP was referencing a cloud-hosted Plex server not “Plex Cloud,” so strictly speaking what they’re looking for is possible. Just not on the actual Plex Cloud 🙂 ---
