Server Version#: 1.23.6.4810  
Player Version#: Web  
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun EXTEND  
Guide/Lineup name:  
Using XMLTV?:  
Channel number/Name: All

Short version, Plex starts recording, records for about 46 seconds, and that’s all it records. So far:

- Verfied permissions on storage.
- Set custom Transcorder temp directory and verified permissions.
- Removed tuner and readded.
- Tried different settings on the tuner’s built-in transcoder.
- Disabled commercial detection.

So far no luck, just the same results where the DVR records for less than a minute then stops and that’s what’s added to the Plex library.

For a sanity check, I have the HDHomeRun application on my Windows laptop, tuned into NBC and everything coming from the tuner is looking great. No video drops. Looking at the HDHomeRun:

| Modulation Lock | 8vsb |
| --- | --- |
| Signal Strength | 97% |
| Signal Quality | 90% |
| Symbol Quality | 100% |

So good signal strength and quality. No dropouts while watching live not via Plex.
