Server Version#:1.25.6.5577 Player Version#:Windows 1.41.0.2876-e960c9ca So, this is at least the fourth time I’m posting regarding this. Any time I update my Plex Media Server to any version beyond 1.21.3.4046, Live TV stops working. If I try to tune any channel I get an error message that says t…

Are you still on 1.25.6.5577? If so, stay there. Then, delete your DVR in Settings → Live TV & DVR and then add it back. After completing setup, log in via https://app.plex.tv and attempt to tune a channel. If it still fails, provide your server logs.

I removed the DVR and re-added it, I even rebooted the server a couple of times in there. Still can’t tune any channel. Logs attached. Plex Media Server Logs_2022-02-26_11-55-16.zip (3.9 MB)

Looks like you originally install PMS under user tigerpaw and then tried to switch to user PLEX. Are you trying to use auto login or run as a service? [image] [HowTo] An extended guide on how to move the Plex data folder on Windows Tips, Tricks & How-Tos By default, Plex…

I don’t even have a user called PLEX. I’m not running it as a service, but it’s set to start automatically when the user is logged in.

If you haven’t already you can use the Windows remove app and then download manually and install as administrator to see if that clears up the permissions.

I’ve done that more than once. Going back to the older version fixes the problem. I guess I’ll just have to stay with the older version.

Set the permissions for the Plex Media Server directory to the user running it. Do it recursively.

That user is the administrator, already has full permissions to all subfolders

One more try, Live TV won't work after updating server
