I was just updated to 1.18.0.1846-f62172e99 and this error seems to be fixed now.

Still not working for me live tv channels keep getting buffering

Yep I spoke too soon. I can’t maintain a stream. Logs are attached. Timestamps where this occurred are around 17:20 and 17:35 October 7th, 2019.Plex Media Server.log (7.8 MB)

Works fine using the HDHomeRun app on my Windows laptop, all channels are ok and streaming is fine.
