Latest PMS and Beta PMS Live TV Issue

Plex Media Server
1

Logs provided. PMS issue on the latest PMS (1.41.7.9823) and the Beta PMS (1.41.8.9834) where Live TV will stop playing after a certain period of time. This time differs each time the crash happens. Looking at the logs this appears each time the crash happens:

ERROR - Unable to open named mutex 9334581e-7251-4ef7-a8ec-5bfe8e89ff68 with option 1: Function not implemented

I can’t have Live TV stop working so will be downgrading PMS to version 1.41.6.9685 which doesn’t have this issue but logs can be provided of each time this crash happened if need be.

This is on the Nvidia Shield

I am getting this too, same error. It’s really annoying. Live TV stops working.

It’s being looked at by Plex here:

May be worth providing logs and tagging the Plex employee incase they need further logs.

@gunnersboy did you ever try downgrading to 1.41.6.9685? Cause that’s the version I’m on and it’s still happening for me. What’s weird is that I haven’t updated in a long while but I feel like this live tv issue started recently.

Yes, downgraded to 1.41.6 and I no longer have the issue. Have disabled automatic updates and after manually upgrading to the latest release and then the beta the issue appeared again. So I’ve downgraded and will remain until a fix comes and out.

Are you completely sure it’s not a client issue? Have you blocked updated of those too or are you on latest?

I don’t watch OTA on my Shield. All devices that stream OTA are on the latest version and the issue only happens when I make changes to the Shield. It’s definitely a PMS issue rather than client based as it also happens when recording TV without even watching the channel.
