Thank to geoffre617 for flagging reoccurring problem I have had 3 times before.

Additional question why hard code ip address x.x.x.125?

I am running the PLEX Server )and a PLEX client for configuring) on a Synology NAS

I just upgraded to version 1.42.2.10156

Prior to 1.42.2 (.1?) Plex was working correctly, allowing the display of the live TV guide, browsing online movies and shows found on the two HDHomeRun FLEX 4K devices on my network. Following the upgrade to 1.42.2 I saw the Live TV had no Guide information. To determine what the problem was, I looked up Live TV & DVR in settings:

In Plex Client Selected
Settings
Manage
Live TV & DVR
Displays:
Set Up Plex Tuner
Select this and get
Tuner Setup
We couldn’t find any hardware we recognize, but will continue to look for available devices.
Don’t see your HDHomeRun? Enter its network address manually

Entering the IP address of one of my HDHomRun devices does not seem to do anything, the box clears and nothing happens.
I have a HDHomeRun FLEX 4K units
I can ping the two HDHomeRun unit
The HDHomeRun app works with the unit
Can also access by IP

My mistake HARDCODED address is actually .127

Plex probably didn’t fully delete the DVR from the databases.

You can try stopping Plex and deleting the tv.epg.cloud* files from the databases directory and restart Plex. If that doesn’t get it then its time to delete the rows from the media_provider_resources table.

Same problem here. The update killed live tv in Plex but it works fine in the HD Homerun app.

First the epg files start with tv.plex.providers.epg.cloud-*

Worked out how to do this without running SQLite commands.

Get your Plex token: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/

curl -L 'http://{ipofserver}:32400/media/grabbers/devices' -H 'X-Plex-Token: {Plex Token}'

This will give you a list of your tuners, look for key=“x”, enter x below.

curl -L -X DELETE 'http://{ipofserver}:32400/media/grabbers/devices/x' -H 'X-Plex-Token: {Plex Token}'

Sorry, could someone expand on the directions for solving this. Having the same issue.
I’m assuming this is a Terminal prompt, but I’m a light user and getting error messages in terminal.

Invoke-WebRequest : Cannot bind parameter ‘Headers’. Cannot convert the “X-Plex-Token:adEzzJnHJqzEQK1Xy7D” value of
type “System.String” to type “System.Collections.IDictionary”.

Really appreciate the help. Super frustrated by Plex Live TV, on my second tuner and seems like I can only get it to work like 80% of the time, then eventually an update crashes it all.

There is a space after the : before your token.
