New EPG and release

@PR Yep, this is correct, it seems the new EPG cannot see New in the guide and the DVR fails big time, so you have to go with old and new episodes together, which entails having doubled up episodes on the drive to!!

Thank you - You are absolutely right and Irish stations RTE1 and RTE2 are available for manual selection when matching in the Freeview OTA Broadcast lineups for Northern Ireland, Scotland, North West and also in the Wales lineup.

Sorry to have doubted that. You got my apology

It might not be an error. It has no impact as they would only be selected if the tuner listed the channels

Yes - the data from the forms provided plus feedback I have already given, will be used to get the errors with the channel lineups corrected in time

Yes you got my apology and second time here. The RTE channels are in the Scottish, Welsh. Northern Ireland and North West regional lineups. I presume they may get picked up

I’m confused… I’m in the US and use OTA channels for my guide. My server is running 1.16.0.1226 on macOS and says it’s up to date… also it’s working fine. How are others getting the new version which I am certainly going to wait to the last minute to install (assuming that I will get nothing if I don’t)… Player is at 3.100.1 and also doesn’t show the need for update.

Server Settings / General / Show Advanced / Server Update Channel: Beta

@sa2000 So when is this supposed to become production ? I certainly don’t want to upgrade until I have to!

should be before 1st July

and other issues ??? still waiting for a long time now ? and its possible to have support for roku players ???

So let me get this straight… These guys are really screaming like children about how ā€œthey never test and expect the users to test for themā€ when they’re on a beta channel?

Good grief… You sign up for the beta channel, you get bugs. How is this not apparent to you people?

This post from @Papahyooie sure looks like trolling. Why haven’t you enforced your trolling ban?

Yep, still showing Gracenote. So rather than encounter this pain, I’ve reverted back to 1.15.x (easy for me thanks to Docker) and have updated the EPG that way. Then change back to 1.16.1

I’d report EPG issues, but I couldn’t update and rescan my channels as 1.16.1 does not find my HDHomeRun tuner. That looks to be a different bug already reported in a different thread.

I guess I’ve got til 1st July for this to be fixed. @sa2000 is there any chance this deadline will be delayed due to all the problems people are facing or is this a licensing deadline ?

Seriously? you said that? Even the official PMS having problem…

And we talk about problems since december! not just the last one about epg…

And since december… most issue appear on official release…

I will not talk about Roku and Android app… i can watch Live TV on emby many hours without buffering on roku and on Plex… if i can watch 20 minutes… i’m happy…

@iomadh The 1.16.1 version isn’t having any trouble finding my HDHomeRun Extend, have you checked to see if the firmware is current?

And when a company charged money … the best to do is offering support about this!

Sorry but Sa2000 is the only one who offering support… Roku Forum is dead… no answer… even if we give log… screenshot… etc…

Sorry but i can’t be happy… i love plex… but… no support… no ETA about issues…

Ya, if you actually read the threads you’ll see LiveTV/DVR has never performed as expected and we’ve all been told BY PLEX EMPLOYEES to remain on the Beta channel and (if ROKU) the Preview client for the latest ā€œfixesā€ to problems that have lingered for a year or more.

There are a couple cheerleaders on the board that may as well be PLEX marketing dupes that always try to tell people that everything is great and the customers are crazy. They troll many threads and are ignored but don’t you dare do that. You’ll be banned in a heartbeat!

Any status on why some programs are always just ā€œYear - E1ā€ ??

I’m on PMS 1.16.1.1273 and have re-scanned/saved my DVR, updated my guide and went through and re-saved all my recordings. Sadly my recording schedule is worthless if every episode of some shows is ā€œYEAR - E1ā€. (Edit: year appears correct but episode # is wrong and not listing the actual season…)

Example:

Previously, this program had season and Episode information, as demonstrated by this episode that was recorded from the DVR:

Just noticed that myself recently. Should be fixed soon.

You do need a full guide refresh to correct the errors for E1

This update did seem to fix my Episode 1 issues after getting a full refresh of the guide.

However, now everything is reporting as SD:


(I noticed quickly because I frequently use the ā€œHD Onlyā€ option and my recording schedule was empty…)

The Channel Guide reports HD for this particular Channel:
