Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156 (I also tried the latest beta) Player Version#: Web 4.147.1 Since updating to MacOS 26, Live TV will not stream. I use an HDHomeRun Duo, and up until that MacOS update, everything was working fine. The HDHomeRun works perfectly. And I even installed Plex Media Server …

This is using Brave Browser and going to https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/live-tv

To actually get developers eyes on this you’re going to want to describe your actions then post server logs and player logs. I’m sure there is a problem because a lot of people are talking about it, but without that information they have no where to start looking. For web logs: https://app.plex.tv/…

I would try Plex app for Mac. I live in AU and all OTA TV is Interlaced with mp2 audio. The following is what is shown in the Activity Dashboard. Using Safari [Screenshot 2025-09-30 at 1.26.16 am]

I tried Safari and it didn’t play. So then I tried the Mac Plex app and it did work.

Tried Roku Ultra and its coming through heavily pixelated.

I would post your debug logs and I will link this discussion to the right folks.

Tried playing on my iPhone, Im getting CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12971

With IOS I am using the New Experience version 2025.26 which works, I don’t think thats available as a public release.

OK, so wild. I have been dealing with this TV issue for almost a week, including all day yesterday. Suddenly today, without me touching my computer and no updates were installed, now the live TV streaming is working all of a sudden!

Mac OS 26.0.1 just came out a few hours ago, did yours happen to update?
