PS4 EPG for DVR

Server Version#: 1.13.8.5395
Player Version#: Plex for PS4 3.80.1

On the Plex Web interface I can view the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for my HDHomeRun tuner by clicking “Live TV & DVR” > “Guide”. This gives me a grid/timeline of whats playing (or due to play) on each channel. This is pretty much how every system in the world displays an EPG.

On the PS4 client though, only the option to view running programs as poster-art exists. That is to say, the UI has divorced itself from the EPG concept and now just shows a snapshot of whats currently broadcasting as though it was my static film library.

Does the PS4 app have the ability to show the EPG in the old regular way?

See Program Guide Support Article for list of devices that have a Program Guide and about half way down which apps support the Channels (Grid Schedule).

Not currently.

Channels (Grid Schedule)

The Channels/Grid view is available in the current version of

  • Plex Web App
  • Apple TV
  • Android TV

We’re working to bring this type of view to more apps in the future.

It can’t come soon enough, without a grid-based EPG watching live TV is such a chore on android phones and PS4 and that’s without taking into account all the bugs.
