Server Version#: 1.23.3.4706
Player Version#: 1.33.0.2444-a220eae4
Tuner Make/Model: xteve
Guide/Lineup name: Deutschland (erweitert)
Using XMLTV?: No
Channel number/Name: Any
I recently setup xteve to use with Plex’s Live DVR function, and I have some free channels set up. When I try to stream the Live TV with Plex on Windows and/or Plex Web, it’ll work for like 30 minutes or so (with a lot of lagging), and it’ll say stream has ended (or something along those lines). In the console I see that the transcoder got killed and I do not know why.
With Plex Media Player however, it’ll stream for hours and hours without problem. So is with Plex on iOS and Plex on Android. Does anyone get this too?

Thanks for testing and establishing shared Plex for Windows and Plex Web behaviors. It’s really interesting that PMP is also transcoding but working well.
Will you restart PMS, stream from Plex Web until PMS dies, [then download](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/)+attach logs?? Hopefully [PMS logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) will reveal the issue.
