First, I would like to say that I thoroughly LOVE the new streaming Live TV service that Plex has added.

Second, I’ve noticed one small issue. When playing a stream, and pressing up to access the guide, the cursor moves one up off the show you’re watching. I do not believe this happens when watching actual Live TV in Plex.

(EDIT) It looks like any “reaccessing” of the guide moves the cursor up one.

Excellent work! Looking forward to the next steps! 🙂

How did you get this to show up? I have updated to latest version, but I still only have Plex Movies & TV. No live tv

I’ve got it on Roku, Android, and Plex Web. You should see an announcement for it when you start a device that is capable. They may be rolling it out in stages.

For Plex Web you will need the hosted version [https://app.plex.tv](https://app.plex.tv)

Verify the availability for your managed users or disable it altogether: [https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/online-media-sources](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/online-media-sources)

Hasn’t shown up for iOS or AppleTV yet. I see it for Plex web and Plex MAC app. So, must be a rollout thing.

I did also enabled Live TV for managed users as well.

Thanks.

I think there was an actual update for Apple TV/iOS released. Is that what you upgraded this morning?

Hmm. Weird. I’m not at home to check for myself. Did you double check your sources on the sidebar? Maybe it just needs to be pinned?

You might be able to trigger it by switching back and forth between user accounts (if you have a Plex Home and more than one user in it).

Ever since the Plex app on MacOS updated this morning, I have lost access to my HDHomeRun Prime LiveTV/DVR through the Plex app (on MacOS). I get the: “Playback Error. There was an unexpected error during playback. Please visit our forums if you continue to experience problems.”

The HDHomeRun Prime has been configured and working correctly for a long time, and I can still watch LiveTV from the Plex Media Player app on the same machine.

I can’t get the new Live TV Stream function to work it keeps saying there was an error loading the channels. Any work around, my Plex is updated to the latest version.
