Server Version#: 1.20.0.3133  
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO  
Guide/Lineup name: TalkTalk – National Lineup United Kingdom IPTV

When selecting a channel from the guide I get the prompt “Join session in progress” with the option of watch from start or live TV. This happens for all channels and doesnt matter if its recording something or not recording.

Its impossible for Plex to be recording every channel at once espcically when I only have 4 tuners of which are not in use when I get the prompt.

Any way to turn this off or is there a fix for this?

No, Plex doesn’t records every channel. Have you tried to watch from the beginning to see if it works? I’m wondering if the dialog is wrong and shouldn’t be appearing. AFAIK, it should only allow that if you are recording that show.

No matter which I select it just goes to the live stream, seems to be working fine just annoying to be promoted every time 🙂

Maybe sounds stupid but have you restarted PMS to see if that solves the issue?
