Live TV issue

General Discussions Plex Features

I can run live TV through the Plex app on my Roku stick, but when I click on the program guide and then select a show…

1). Sometimes it says that live TV cannot be started
2) sometimes it plays for a few seconds (less than 1 min) and then goes to a black screen that says recieving…basically a buffering screen, but can’t fully buffer and start playing again. It doesn’t get past about 34% and after about a minute or two, it says “Playback Error. Sorry, we could not play your live TV channel.”

Given enough time, when I come back and try again it may work. But usually ends up with #2 above.

I am using OTA with a silicon dust duel. WiFi is very strong, I don’t have issues with other apps/streaming. Server was checked and no updates available. Can pull live TV from other apps using the same silicon dust device, including mythtv.

I am having essentially the same issue. All SD channels play fine but a couple of the HD channels seem to be hit or miss via Plex. I have the hdhomerun hdhr4 and EVERY channel plays fine through the native hdhomerun app and Emby live TV. This is a Plex specific issue. I’m running a pretty fast PC with 16 GB ram and dedicated amd 4gb graphics card. I went with Plex pass because it’s all in one, hopefully they get it worked out. This is across multiple devices. I have rokus, 2nd gen fire TV, Samsung tab pro tablet, and galaxy s8/note8.

I just downloaded the new server v 1.10.xxxx and all seems to be working now with live TV.
