DVR recording when not logged into windows PC account.

General Discussions Plex Features

Hi all,
i have plex pass with DVR recording, plex is only assigned to my windows account on my PC so I have noticed that if a family member is signed into windows on the same PC and im not the DVR scheduled recordings wont record.
is there a setting within plex to ensure scheduled recordings happen even if im not signed in and someone else is?
i couldnt locate a thread on this issue already, apologies if there is one I have missed
thanks

So you have multiple windows user accounts and the issue is when PC is restarted but you do not login to windows but another windows user account is logged in ?

If that is the issue, then this would mean that Plex Media Server is not running when you are not logged into a windows account

There are a number of possible solutions

This is the main solution which is what I use

Other solution could be buying 3rd party tools such as LogonExpert which allows you to configure automatic windows logins
