Since the last Plex for Mac update, the app has stopped working. It runs on Windows, smooth. But not for Mac.

With app.plex.tv it works.

I understand that this error was only on Mac - the windows Plex Desktop app did not give this error

I just tried the current version of the Plex Desktop on a Mac for Live TV and it is working fine - version 1.65.1.3596-7b1f6d97

If this error is still being returned on the latest version of the Plex Desktop app, please provide app logs and Plex Media [Server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) and a new screenshot and indicating the time of the error

For Plex for Desktop logs - see [Plex for Windows/Mac/Linux Desktop App Logs | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/windows-mac-app-logs/)

And for the logs from the server - see [Server Logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/)

Thanks for the logs and confirming you are still getting this error on 1.65.1.3596

I was unable to reproduce the issue on my MacBook Pro

I have referred it to our development team

@sync_keylock

I understand that this error is returned when playing back DVR Live TV from “Recent Channels” and “Shows On Now” hubs.  
and that the error is not returned when tuning a channel from the DVR Guide screen

@sync_keylock A couple of questions to help rule out possible causes. Have you modified the app in any way, for example by replacing the mpv binary? Have you tried reinstalling PMS?

Hi @Moussa

Nice to hear from you!

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the PMS. I didn’t modify anything because I’m not very familiar with it.

Hi

Is there any chance that it could be fixed?

@sync_keylock As @sa2000 mentioned, we’ll need both app and [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) generated after reproducing the issue.

I had an issue similar to this on MacOS and I found I had to Delete DVR and setup my Tuner again, in my case a HDHomeRun.

Ok,  
Have you made sure your enabled channels have a description beside them like below.

@Moussa is it ok, if @sa2000 have the Logs, or do you need the Logs, too?
