Share Live TV With Managed Users

I have both… doesn’t show in any of my users, managed home or friends…

the only one I really wanted to setup was my own…
I don’t like using the admin user for anything but administrative uses.
That’s why no one here uses the DVR function, since they cannot schedule their own shows and I wont do it for them.
for testing purposes I have another Plex DVR server setup to record every movie on one specific channel, that one is running Version 1.9.7.4460… only version that works reliably for recording.

Is it on the roadmap for Friends to have access to this feature?

I have a cousin in Afghanistan on humanitarian work and he would love to access. I don’t want to give full access to server. Is that what managed user or family do?

@huntis you probably have the Public channel selected in your Settings. 1.11.0 has not been released to Public yet, only Beta channel.

You can always check the Release Announcements page to find out about new releases.

Hi John

I just changed to Beta channel and will hopefully receive the update at some stage. Looking at the release announcements page I can’t see mention of the feature under 1.11.x releases? Am I missing something?

@Trial_Master you should also be able to click the Check for Updates link after you switched to the Beta channel. You can also manually update by going to plex.tv/downloads. I personally always manually update. I do not recall any discussions on whether Friends will be allowed access to Live TV.

Hi. This works when users login from the web but my Apple TV box only shows the Live TV option if I sign in with the main account user. When will it show from Apple TV?

See the Frequently Asked Questions DVR Live TV for supported clients for both Live TV and DVR.

I have an Apple TV 4th Gen (not 4K) and all of my home users are able to see/play Live TV. If you don’t have auto update on your Plex app in Apple TV, it may not be up to date?

Hi,
My plex serveur is in version 1.14.1.5488 but i didn’t have the option to share my live TV!

That’s because none of your users is a member of your Plex Home.
Live TV can only be shared with Plex Home members, not with ‘Plex Friends’.

This is intentional and it won’t get changed.

:frowning: I prefer to give the option (default desactivate with warning) and not remote it for all
