Live TV DVR I feel needs a total revamp as it seems it has been neglected over the past few years. Two major features that would make a huge impact on the usage of the Live TV functionality is to be able to do ‘crash’ (manual) live recordings, the ability to edit metadata which is useful for news coverage, and the ability to mass edit the DVR schedule. Maybe with something like a proper calendar schedule layout…Right now it is extremely frustrating deleting one show or movie at a time from the schedule which builds up over time. This would also be usuful in scheduling more TV shows or movies with multiple clicking on different days/times etc… below is a link to a good discussion about this in the past where I have included a couple of screenshots of what I am on about. 
When the DVR Schedule get’s large, this causes extremely slow live tv playback when starting a stream. For me, it’s around 20 to 30 secs so I have set up a separate Live TV server for Live TV as it’s a very painful experience tuning to a channel. Compared to Emby, which is super fast changing channels, Plex is labourisly slow.
Other areas that could be looked at is the playback during a live TV event…fast forwarding or going back on the timeline often crashes or stalls the live tv viewing. Maybe custom caching settings could overcome this issue.
Another simple feature to help navigate long TV Guides is to switch on or off the channel number that you now see if you hover, but, having the ability to have it always show the channel number next to the TV Station Logo. Another cool feature would be able to type in or use Siri to search by channel number.
One more cool feature would be …let’s say the Plex server crashes or there is a power outage and a TV recording is in progress. Instead of the recording disappearing from the ‘grab’ folder and being deleted, you could have the option to recover and save the recording. Often a recording will fail if the tv signal becomes unstable and you will see the dreaded ’ Could Not move recorded media to destination’ and the whole recording is deleted. At least a partial recording would be cool.
A previous feature request from 2020, … To be able to ‘clip out’ a clip to export a short part of a show to HEVC or mp4 file for export.
Finally, with the ability to choose multiple EPG locations or TV guide sources, it would be cool when you could select the single EPG source out of various EPG locations. For example, Spectrum rather than the over the air channel or free to air guide. I have a cable card tuner as well as a OTA antenna. Scrolling down the long list of cable channels to get to the OTA channels takes a long scroll. Manually patching the correct channel to the correct EPG Channel is also tedious…maybe having a grid layout to select would be easier than scrolling the long list’s.
I know that’s a lot to ask for but, I love the Plex universe and I can’t wait to see how more amazing Plex will become as it already is pretty damn good!
Thank you all for your amazing developing work. You are all amazing!
PS: Global search of Plex content via the Apple TV Siri search which currently can search through all TV app providers.
