Live TV will no longer play. This is causing the DVR to not record. It is NOT a problem with the tuner card as WinTV plays fine. I also cannot add any new media libraries to Plex. There is no help online for this issue. Everything was working fine until the latest update.

I have installed the 1.43.0 Beta and now the Media Server will not recognize my TV Tuner Card Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD PCI Express TV Tuner Card 1609

I had Live TV and DVR before the 1.42 update. Now I cannot access either.

OK I cannot find a downloadable version of the older software. The provided link gives an error. Is there any way to send a larger than 8MB log file?

This could be unrelated, but my Tuners (Both Hauppauge WinTV USB Dual tuners) stopped working after the last PMS update (back in December I think) on Win11. I had to reinstall the drivers from the Hauppauge website (can’t remember if they were more recent drivers than originally installed or not). I had to dig out the piece of paper with the registration code on it which came with the tuners. Worth a shot?
