LiveTV for manage users.

When is this going to be added? Very disappointed with the lack of support for LiveTV, Giving my entire house including two kids ages 3 and 6 access to the admin account just to watch LiveTV is a show stopper for me. Plex PLEASE update me on when this will be sorted out and working.

Looks like Plex just added this feature according to the news release they just sent out. I just upgraded to 1.11.0.4633, but I do not see the option to allow home users access to Live TV in the restrictions settings even though the main Live DVR plex page show it there. Am I missing something, did anyone else get this to work with the new update?

It is now updated but still my home user can’t see live tv. Hoping Plex is working on the issue.

Well this is strange. I know I checked the box for “Allow access to Live TV”, but now the option is gone. Can anyone from Plex comment? Why isn’t Live TV available for managed users?

I saw the allow access to live tv on a fresh install of the plex server. i just manually updated my original server to 1.11.0.4633 which is what the fresh install is, however i do not see the allow access to live tv. I hope this gets fixed soon. I’m starting the process of cutting the cord and have an hdhomerun which is awesome, except it only works on my main account. I tried the hdgrandslam plug in, it kinda works, but not as well as the native live tv

A good first step is to restart your Plex Server application. Then, go to your settings -> users, and for each user look under restrictions and enable Live TV.

Some how the setting in restrictions appears now, I have not performed a restart. Unfortunately the setting in restrictions now exists, but setting it does not open the program guide for home users, not on the web, not on an android app. As of now the feature is still broken.

Restart your Plex Server.

Yes a full server reboot fixed it for me and new client updates are on Android. Why make an announcement in the morning if the feature was not allowed until the evening lol?

My server version says 1.10.1.4602 and it says it is up to date. I thought 1.11.0.4633 was the latest version? I am even checking the plex.tv/downloads, and it also only shows me 1.10.1.4602.

1.11 is only available for Plex Pass members at the moment. I’m hoping 1.11 makes it to the public release after Christmas.

Make sure you’re signed in at https://www.plex.tv/downloads/ and check the that Plex Pass Downloads are set to on. I’m seeing version 1.11 at the download site.
