Plex will no longer play a live TV stream from my HDHomeRun device. It had been working prior to a few Plex Server version updates ago. I can tune and view channels using the HDHomeRun Windows application and with Jellyfin’s web interface and mobile app without any issues. The following error is displayed when trying to tune any channel from the Plex Windows client or from the web interface:

I see a couple of issues in your logs that need to be addressed. The first is that you have a database corruption. There are a lot of database corruption errors in your logs, and all bets of off on what is going to work until the corruption is fixed. The following is a small excerpt:

You can try a repair, or restore from a backup.

You may also have a permissions problem with your transcoder mountpoint. Typically /mnt is used for network mountpoints (e.g. not local disk.) Is this your case? If so, know that Plex recommends that your transcoder directory is NOT a network share.
