This is precisely what I do. I’m forcing only channels above 1000, and Plex has no idea what to do with it.
I intentionally disabled everything under 1000 on my HDhomeRun Prime:
No matter what I do, the Plex guide ignores it, and assumes a bunch of random channels from below 1000 are there, where the Guide just loses it’s marbles:
The issue is even if manually adjusting the guide’s channel value, it still defaults to the “lower” channel that doesn’t exist, Plex can’t tune the channel, and nothing works. Every channel in the above pic is disabled on my HDHR, and the list is partial anyway…it’s just random)
As you can see, if left default “all channels” , the guide will start on channel 021…and I have 20 channels before that. Ignore 45, that’s intentionally re-enabled, however the guide then jumps to 60 then 88…
The dumb part is, is if you go in there to re-associate anything, those channels aren’t even observed, so i have no idea where it’s even pulling those from…(Everything below 1000 in this pic are the must-haves I leave enabled for the DVR, as that’s the only way this will work) :
I’ve basically been limited to how much manual association I want to do, so the ten channels under 1000 I’ve re-enabled, and I’ve limited the Plex guide to those ten channels.
What’s more irritating is that since there’s been many updates since this broke two plus months ago, and every single time, I update, and see that this is still broken, I have to come in here, delete the DVR, and start all over again.
I work in enterprise IT, and I work with databases all day long. While I know people are reporting rollbacks, I don’t rollback databases unless it’s do or die. Databases don’t tolerate rollbacks naturally, and frankly it’s a bush-league solution.
Definitely renders this whole feature useless. Kind of annoyed I just switched to the lifetime pass ( I love the DVR) on June 29th, after like 4-5 years of the yearly, and observed this issue in the same 24 hours (while reporting it in the forum on this thread) , and still dealing with this two months later.
