This just started today for me. Getting something similar but only when using the Plex app on my Apple TV. So far I can tune in just fine using my iPhone and via Web but the app on my Apple TV tries to tune to the channel and then just dies and goes back to the guide. This appears to only be happ…

I am getting the issues as @Spunky17 - is this an apple tv issue or plex issue

wow, seriously nothing from anyone? hard to believe just me and @bigrednks are the only ones seeing this issue? from what I can tell it is something with the apple tv plex app or something with the apple tv. i’m inclined to rule out the apple tv as i can stream other content with other apps just …

@Spunky17 @bigrednks I’ve a similar issue starting about a week ago - unable to watch live TV on Plex through Apple TV. The app updated on my Apple TV on July 19. On July 20th, live TV worked but it required me restarting the Media Server to work correctly. Starting on July 21st, re-starting the ser…

@enavyblue i hadn’t noticed this till wednesday but my friend that is a member of my plex home that has access to live tv told me that she has had issues for about a week which aligns with what you see. the catch here is that she wasn’t using an apple tv device but the native samsung smart tv app. …

@enavyblue , @bigrednks and @jbail804_gmail_com I have an update. I can’t explain it but I gave deleting the app a try yet again (did this about 4 times already) from my apple tv and reinstalled it just a little bit ago and tested live tv and to my amazement it was working! nothing else changed on …

Same problem here. I am unable to tune into ANY live tv channels on my Apple TV from my HDHomerun. It does work view a web browser like Safari from a MacBook. VLC on the same MacBook plays the the live broadcast correctly. Since my client auto updates, but my server does not I would assume this is …

Could I have Apple TV logs from the Plex for Apple TV app and debug server logs from Plex Media Server for this In case the issue is to do with the server problem with hangs / lockouts that has just got fixed in beta 1.28.0.5999 - i would advise running with that and then getting the diagnostics if…

I have the same situation. It occurs in both 4k Apple TV generations, and it’s reproducible 100% with success every time… This only happens when using the Old player. When shifting for the new player, the live tv channels play. This may be the reason @Spunky17 had success when uninstalling and ins…

I don’t have an Apple TV. This occurs on a Sony Android TV, Nvidia Shield Pro (2019), Nvidia Shield “tube”, Roku Ultra, and an Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max. I believe It is due to the Plex server and not the player, as it would be highly unlikely that all my players would go bad simultaneously. I am run…
