Feature Request: Add TV Everywhere to Live TV Dvr

Hopefully this will be coming now that they finally upgraded the EPG system to handle multiple different listings.

I definitely want to see TVE added to Plex. I was very surprised when I discovered it wasn’t supported. So I am still stuck with having two systems for my media entertainment. Plex for everything else. And Channels for DVR because the good people at Plex left out a no brainer from their otherwise awesome DVR.

Make it happen already, Plex. I’m tired of jumping on here every few months to bump this up.

I recently opened a new thread (Why Doesn’t Plex Support Respond To TV Everywhere Support Requests) and Their response doesn’t sound too good. All Plex Pass members should show their support for they added functionality instead of some of the dumb ‘free Live TV’ addon’s they are adding.

Sure, add it to the “Live TV” feature but don’t add it to “Live TV & DVR” it already has enough problems.

I’d be curious to know if they’d have to rework the DVR system in order to add this. From what I can tell Plex has one of the most complicated methods of recording out of all the competition.

I wonder if it would even work as is with anything other than a broadcast transport stream.

I’m just speculating.

A few years ago, Plex offered a streaming service that had most of the same channels that most ‘Live TV’ services like YouTube TV, Sling, and others offer today. I currently subscribe to Vidgo for my ‘Live TV’ service, and because they don’t currently have DVR capability or the ability to customize their guide, I use Channels Plus DVR system to get by these limitations. I use Channels DVR to record my ‘Live TV’ streaming channels, and to create customized channel guides.

Maybe Plex should look into partnering with Vidgo to provide a ‘Live TV’ streaming service like they did a few years ago. This would be a ‘win-win’ stations for both.

They need to rework the entire DVR system anyways
its complete garbage.
