Server Version#: 1.31.0.6654  
Player Version#: Version 4.51.1  
Tuner Make/Model: xTeve  
Guide/Lineup name:  
Using XMLTV?: Yes  
Channel number/Name:

I setup xTeve as my tunner, and when testing the xteve m3u url from VLC it works fine. However, after adding it to Plex as a tuner, I would get the error ‘Error code: s1001 (Network)’ when trying to open a channel.  
Weird thing is if I open the channel on my apple tv or my iphone, it works just fine. However in the browser I would get that error.  
When looking at the media [server logs,](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) I see this error:  
‘Got exception from request handler: Invalid argument’ and a 500 right after, see bellow the logs:

```

I tried a fresh install of Plex in my MacOS and Debian, and having the same error on both. Debian runs in a VM on proxmox. but I tried inside docker, outside, and also running the server directly on my MacOS machine. All fail with the same error.  
I am assuming is some internal error on Plex.

FWIW, about 6 months ago this was working, so I wonder if it could be something that broke on the DVR code after that.

I confirmed that on Version 1.21.3.4046 of the media server, everything works just fine.

Need full debug logs for both client and server.

Do you have transcoding disabled?

@sixxnet how do I get client’s logs? would that be in the browser?  
Also, isn’t the [server log](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) that I posted enough? There is a lot of noise there. I wonder if there is any way to enable stacktrace on the logs too?

thanks
