LiveTV&DVR unexpected error

[hahniv]

Server Version#:1.18.3.2156
Player Version#:
Last successful recording was this morning around 4:30am. Went into Live TV & DVR and recording section to check this next weeks scheduling (usual Sunday routine) and I’m getting “There was an unexpected error loading this library. Please visit our forums if you continue to experience problems”. I’ve quit and restarted Plex Server and I’ve rebooted the computer. Still getting error. Anyone else?

This post should help:

There was an unexpected error loading this library

You can try going to https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/web/debug and clicking on the red Restore Defaults but note the message there: All Plex Web settings, including home screen customization, will be reset and restored to their default state. NOTE: If settings sync is also turned on, settings on other Plex Web instances may also be reset. Use with caution. That might fix your default view of the Live TV / DVR screen.

That did it. Thanks!

In my case the error message turns out to be caused by my having disabled access to my Plex server from outside of my home network, for security. The error message could be changed to be more informative.

There is an “enable” button in the server dashboard at link Settings > Remote Access. But I will simply watch via the Plex channel on Roku, as it is more secure.
