Server Version#: 1.26.0.5715  
Player Version#: ??? Apple TV, Roku, Web  
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomerun Flex 4k 2/4 Tuner  
Guide/Lineup name: ???  
Using XMLTV?: No  
Channel number/Name: 7.1 Fox. 18.1 PBS, All others Austin, TX

I went to my Plex player on Apple TV Thursday night to watch DVR recordings. All of them were 1 or 2 minutes long. Literally all of them. I logged onto this community and found someone with the exact same issue and responded to that thread.

As I was continuing to troubleshoot I found that I couldn’t tune any live TV. I get a red error that reads Playback Error This live TV session has ended, or Playback Error This channel cannot be tuned. Or similar errors. I’ve seen a few.

I deleted the DVR from the server. I then launched HDHomerun on Windows and was prompted for a firmware update. I did that and then found that I couldn’t tune any channels there either. I power cycled the HDHomerun and that fixed the issue with the HDHomrun app. I can now launch and watch Live TV with the HDHomerun.

Back to Plex, I reinstalled the DVR and HDHomerun Tuner. It found all the channels and I can see the guide. However, nothing will record and I still can’t tune channels for Live TV.

I honestly don’t know what additional troubleshooting to do. So any help this team can give is appreciated.

Do you have any logs covering the time of one of these recordings?

I just turned logging back on. I hadn’t had it on for a long time since things were running perfectly up until this last update.
