I’m trying to do a search of the guide for my over the air antenna like I have done for years. It does not find anything from the over the guide, no matter what I search for. I do get a triangle with the message “Some search requests timed out.”.
Any chance this can be addressed? It is becoming a problem that I can’t search the off air guide on my Plex server.
Thank you!
Same problem. Worked for many many years and stopped a few days ago. I needed an excuse to switch machines which I have now completed but being able to search the Live TV Guide is the only thing not working.
Actually happy to see others with the same problem because I was beginning to doubt my memory and blame the new build.
Plex Version 1.41.8.9834 on Windows 11 with a 192TB Storage Spaces array as 24x8TB drives. Everything fully updated.
Also having this issue. Live local guide TV searching simply doesn’t work. Makes setting up recordings very difficult.
Same problem here. Server Version 1.41.8.9834.
I see the same message in the search results “Some search results have timed out”
Searching standard library media seems okay.
This appears to still not be working so I’ll add a comment to this thread and hope it encourages Plex to fix it soon. Recording over the air TV shows is one of the key features of Plex and having a broken search function seriously causes problems with that functionality . Using Sever Version 1.41.8.9834-071366d65.
Same here on Mac and cable tuner. No search results from EPG since some weeks.
Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this is no longer working. Glad to know it’s not just me.

I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 24.04 and added plex media server. Things are mostly working. However, I am unable to search for programs on the live tv schedule.
For example if I search for Colbert, results are returned showing my recordings of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but if I filter on Live TV, there are no results. (I am in the United States and using the local broadcast TV listings.) I have tried a few more searches and they return results from “Free Live TV”, but not results from the broadcast channels on my server.
Searches on the Android app give similar results.
Any suggestions to help resolve this or further investigate the problem would be welcome.
Thanks

for the past 3-4 weeks, the PLEX EPG is not searchable any more. Shows are just not findable even when you can see the show in the EPG. I have ticked all options incl. PLEX live TV to no avail. it used to work fine. help! as I can’t search for and record upcoming shows.
Anyone know how I escalate this ?
thanks

I was made aware of some threads around EPG search not working properly. I’ve taken these separate threads and combined them into one. Hope that was ok. Can anyone here please enable debug log levels on their PMS, reproduce the issue, download your PMS logs, share them here or to me?
Thanks!
edit: upon initial investigation it looks like EPG search could be tied to the same issue reported here. Also see:
Once the Beta is released, if anyone here could confirm EPG search is working again that would be great! Obviously report back if it’s not working too. 
Just updated to PMS Version 1.41.9.9961 (Windows) today. Problem continues. No search results for Live TV program guide. Error icon next to Top Results with message “Some search requests timed out” on hover. Debug logs have the following error messages when searching eg, for “700”:
ERROR - [Req#94] SQLITE3:0x2, 1, no such column: media_items.begins_at in “select metadata_items.id from metadata_items where (metadata_items.title = ‘700’ or metadata_items.title_sort = ‘700’ or metadata_items.original_title = ‘700’) and metadata_items.library_section_id in (1) and metadata_items.metadata_type=1 order by media_items.begins_at asc, metadata_items.id asc, media_items.width desc, metadata_items.originally_available_at asc, media_parts.id asc limit 101 offset 0”
ERROR - Got exception from request handler: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: no such column: media_items.begins_at for SQL: select metadata_items.id from metadata_items where (metadata_items.title = ‘700’ or metadata_items.title_sort = ‘700’ or metadata_items.original_title = ‘700’) and metadata_items.library_section_id in (1) and metadata_items.metadata_type=1 order by media_items.begins_at asc, metadata_items.id asc, media_items.width desc, metadata_items.originally_available_at asc, media_parts.id asc limit 101 offset 0
Not sure if it matters, but this search is being done from Plex Web, Version 4.147.1.
Now that I have an error message, I’m going to search the forums/reddit/google for something as I seem to recall seeing this before somewhere…
Yup, I put the latest update on this morning as well and the problem is NOT fixed.
I could be wrong, as I’m not a SQL whiz, but shouldn’t there be a JOIN in that SELECT statement if you’re trying to pull columns from another table beside metadata_items (ie, media_items and media_parts used in the ORDER BY clause)?
Edit: Looks like that SQL error I posted above may be a red herring, as the guide data doesn’t appear to even be stored in metadata_items (on my machine at least). Even after fixing the query with JOINs, I couldn’t locate any Live TV EPG data in that table.
Eg, the following query returns nothing and should return at least my local news programs:
select id,title from metadata_items where upper(metadata_items.title) like “%NEWS%”;
Edit 2: Found the EPG data… it’s in a separate database, tv.plex.providers.epg.cloud-[some GUID].db not the main com.plexapp.plugins.library.db. So, assuming the SQL error above is using the EPG file, the maybe it is related to the query and adding JOINS might fix the problem after all.
Just installed beta Version 1.42.0.9975 and Live TV EPG search is now working 
Thank you Plex!
Any idea when it will be a standard release?
The EPG display is fixed. I wonder if pause, resume, and rewind works, now, too
Thank you all who were involved in resolving this. I can now search again in Production/Released version of PMS
