Hey guys,
I wanna know if its possible to share live tv with friends and not only with my Plex Home users.
Can somone help me?

No, definitely not. Intentionally.

Oh ok.
Is there any reason why plex made it like that?
Cause you need a plex pass to watch it. So there is for me no sense to block it.

TV broadcasts are copyrighted material.
Sharing that with your family can be categorized as ā€˜fair useā€™ of said material.

No. See above.

I canā€™t share with my home users. What the heck am I missing. Live TV is turned on under restrictions for my son but still nothing. What gives?

6

Which Plex client is used?
Was this client reloaded/restarted after you granted the access to live tv?

7

Yes restart did not resolve the issue.

It looks like you have created your son both as a friend and as a managed user. While your sonā€™s devices are using the full plex account, you are granting the ā€˜liveā€™ privilege to the managed user.

Delete the managed user from Settings - Family & Friends - Home Users
Then invite the existing friend into your Plex home. (ā€˜Add an Existing Plex Userā€™)
