Server Version#: 1.23.2.4656
Player Version#: web server, apple tv, just recording
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO with latest firmware from 2/2021
Guide/Lineup name:
Using XMLTV?: not sure, i rebuilt my lineup a while back when i needed to
Channel number/Name: all
PMS running in docker using the latest image. Plenty of storage available on the linux machine for transcoding and storage for the resulting ts file.
I was able to use the HdHomeRun app to watch and record live TV without any issues for as long as I wanted.
Using Plex, if I either watch live tv or record a show (not watching plex) the Live TV feed crashes after 2-7minutes. The rest of the plex server works fine, just viewing Live TV and recording shows crashes. If it’s a DVR recording I end up with a small (2-7min) file I can watch, but the rest of the show is unavailable.
The OTA signal is strong, again the HDHomeRun app works fine.
I’ve seen where it might be caused by a corrupt plex DB. I’ve tried stopping plex, removing the database files, restarting plex, and letting plex recreate but the issue remains.
Tuners need to be on same network as the Plex server. The interface in the docker container needs to be in HOST mode so that Plex can open dynamic ports to talk to the tuner.
If you are not shutting it down then something external is.:

OH, that’s helpful! You helped me figure it out. I initially had plex running behind a VPN but moved it off that when I started running into issues accessing it remotely. When it was behind the VPN i had a healthcheck setup via the compose file and it was looking for vpn:32400/identity which, after removing plex from behind the VPN, didn’t resolve. So healthcheck/autoheal was killing plex every few minutes.
I removed healthcheck from my plex container and it’s running fine.
