Plex Media Server Logs_2020-09-23_16-30-32.zip (3.7 MB)

For the last week or 2 the recording of shows has been failing. I have looked through the forums and found similar issues and made the changes to the TCPTimedWaitDelay as per recommendations, however the system fails with an error -138.

I have attached the logs for anyone who wants them and you can find the most recent offense at 16:27:06.013

Keen to hear some thoughts on how to solve.

Thanks

I can at least provide a bit more information. The problem is with your Plex Tuner Service that listens on port 32600. You can look at the Plex Tuner Service log files yourself, but what is happening is that it starts (the tuner service log beginning at 16:09:07.884), begins listening on port 32600, appears to communicate with your tuner, and then almost immediately exits. It then tries to start again (logs at 16:09:42.968 and 16:09:43.147) but those attempts don’t even get as far as listening on port 32600.

The “Unable to lock named mutex F8EEB26D-AB23-4061-8250-130AB5285A4A: 0x80” appears to be the problem. I don’t have a suggested fix right now, but will look around. Since its is windows have you tried a full reboot? Disk checks? Anything other than Plex that is accessing your tuner?

Edit: There are a couple threads here and here regarding people having trouble with Live TV & DVR on Windows with the latest Plex server version. No one is posting logs so I can’t tell if they are the same issue. Perhaps review and see if you are having the same behavior. If so then some people are having luck by rolling back to a 1.19 Plex Server version.

You sir @hokierulz are a gent!

Dropping back to 1.18 (which is all I had) has worked perfectly.

Appreciate the quick reply and the effort!
