Still getting “unexpected error” - Live TV & DVR

Tried below from previous post - deleting the tv.plex.providers.epg.cloud entries - I did not repair database as i do have blob and main entries every 3rd day

Remove the DVR.

Stop Plex.

Find the directory where the database files are :Where is the Plex Media Server data directory located? | Plex Support

Remove any files that start tv.plex.providers.epg.cloud but leave the rest.

While you are there make sure you see dated copies of the main and blob databases occuring every 3 days, if not you will have to repair a database. Repair a Corrupted Database | Plex Support

Restart Plex and add the tuner.

I’m getting the unexpected Live TV error on the HTPC version of the Windows app.
The desktop version seems to work fine, but I prefer the HTPC version. This tells me it could be a configuration error instead of a database problem.

I also have the same issue.
just deleting the tv.plex… epg files didn’t help.
As I don’t have access to the TV tuner anymore I think it is related to a configuration within plex expecting a tuner.
How can I remove a tuner from the existing configuration?

I’m having the same issue. Tried deleting certain files, modifying the database, etc. with zero luck. I don’t really want to install Plex from scratch.

I was having a similar issue to those above me. I found that in the Media Server Settings, in ‘Online Media Sources’ that Live TV was ‘Disabled for Managed Users’. After changing this to ‘Enabled’, it all just started working.

The LiveTV in “online media sources” has nothing to do with the LiveTV/DVR function of Plex Media Server which is a complete mess at the moment.
