Howdy,
Not so new to Plex, happy Plex user for some years. DVR functionality was never an interest, but now… it’s quickly become something I want to look into.
#1
First of all, here:
https://www.plex.tv/features/live-tv-dvr/
It states:
Watch your TV anywhere
Plex Live TV is currently available on Android (mobile), Android TV, Apple TV, and iOS devices.
(blah blah… goes on to state watch recorded programs on pretty much everything else).
But in searching, and on some other pages, I’m pretty sure that I see support for watching Live TV on Roku devices now?
#2
Run PMS on Ubuntu 16.04, in a docker container.
I plan to get the HAUPPAUGE WinTV-quadHD, which I understand will show up as 2 2tuner devices.
Is there anything special to do for Docker to use that card? IIRC, docker uses/sees local hardware normally, right?
#3
If supported by Roku (Q #1), how does this work inside the Roku considering I have 9 Roku devices in the house.
If 2 people are watching Live TV on 2 devices, and 2 channels are recording, what happens if someone on another device goes to watch LiveTV? Does it just not work, does it say Busy, does it kick someone else off? (what if a Roku was left with LiveTV on in 2 places for instance, and someone else wants to watch… )
#4
All of my current media is stored on my Snapraid array, which is accessed and updated very frequently. For recording Live TV/DVR Functionality, would you suggest/recommend a separate/dedicated drive/array for DVR storage for performance reasons?
#5
TV Shows recorded won’t get mixed up into my TV Shows Library I already have will it? Will there be a separate Library for DVR Recordings?
#6
Is there anything like a Season Pass type feature in the DVR settings to say always record Jeopardy or to always record new episodes of This is Us, etc?
#7
Am I missing anything you think might be important or good to know to prepare/plan for, expect or do?
