Apologies in advance as I’m a novice. I have been using PLEX for a while and its is an awesome setup and works GREAT!! A year or so ago I moved it to WD PR4100 NAS and it runs great!
A few days ago I discovered locast2plex and since I’m a donating member of Locast to get local channels this was a dream come true… local channels in PLEX with DVR - woohoo…
So updated to latest version of server, downloaded locast2plex, running python 3.8 I launch it and it seems to run in a command prompt window. I got the DVR configured and it pulls the channel guide. I click on any channel in a browser player and get the dreaded playback error. It took me a while to get here (python upgrade, leveraging config.ini instead of command line switches, I even popped in the latest version of ffmpeg) but I’m not being able to play any channels…

I feel like I am missing something simple or doing something dumb… I would love to get some advice… I’m not the village idiot (probably making a village idiot mistake) but definitely not as tech savvy as most users here!
Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated
