Server Version#: Docker/latest  
Player Version#:  
I installed the official Container MediaServer “Plex-Media-Server” from the Unraid App store and configured it as shown in the attached images. I can play live streaming from my HDHomeRun device, but when I try to record, it fails with an error “No write access to destination”. Yet all the permissions appear all right.

What am I missing?

For anyone having trouble setting up an official Plex Server Docker, have a look at the following tutorial from [Lon.TV](http://Lon.TV). It involves adding a couple of additional variables during setup. I am now able to watch and record live TV programs!
