Recently, after a server reboot of my Plex system, it seems that the tuners are not discovered at first start of Plex. Inevitably, I notice then when a recording that I expect to have taken place isn’t recorded. At that point, a simple stop/start of Plex resolves the issue, and recordings (or tuni…

I am having the same problem as the user above, and I’m able to fix it by also rebooting plex. Is there any fix for this so the tuner will work after a system reboot?

Have you installed either Plex Media Server 1.21.1.3759 or Plex Media Server 1.21.1.3766 that have the fix @OttoKerner mentioned above from the Release Announcements link?

I’ve not yet, as I’ve made a conscious decision to move to the Public Server Update channel, after way too many things had been breaking in the Beta channel. Apparently even the Public channel is not fully immune to this. :slight_smile:

The Public channel is the same releases that are in beta. The release will eventually leave beta and be available to everyone. But thought I was replying to @rdburk though.

Thank you, I missed that link. I will try the beta version and see if that fixes it. I will update this post when I know either way.

I am now running 1.21.1.3766 and I still needed to exit and restart Plex after a system reboot, it does not appear this release fixed the problem I am having.

Yes, fully agree that they’re the same releases, though I thought that not every Beta made it to Public (i.e. multiple fixes that are in addressed in several interim Betas would eventually get swept up in a “blessed” Public release). Is that still the case?

Correct, not every beta makes it to Public availability. You can always install a beta and if you have a problem uninstall it and reinstall the last Public release. I reinstall releases fairly often as I test Alphas normally, at the moment an experimental build, on one of my servers.

Thanks, John. I recall some time back that there had been some database structure changes that made it a challenge at the time to go backwards, so after that, I just stuck with Publics to hopefully avoid such challenges. It’s good to hear that’s no longer a concern.
