In Live TV & DVR / Guide / Record, , I am unable to select a different library in Add to library.
The libraries are listed but when I highlight one and select, the list reverts to the first library in the alphabet.

Have also tried All Episodes and Advanced to no avail.

Selecting a library works fine in the Mac Plex App.

I think I’ve also seen this behaviour happen on the mobile android app too. Seems to work fine on my Roku.

Yes, apparently this has been going on for a year. See the thread here: DVR: cannot plan recording from Android app - Plex Players / Mobile Devices - Plex Forum.

Just wanted to make it very clear the following issues also exist on Android TV

  1. Unable to select a library from “Add To Library”
  2. The “Advanced” menu item appears only after circling the menu - probably a good intention to minimise the Advanced menu item but very inconvenient as most of us have to go to Advanced to set number of episodes to keep.
  3. It would be extremely helpful to avoid repetition if the last recording menu options set could be remembered - personally I always use the same advanced settings for all my recordings.

Workaround to this bug is; start fresh with Plex server and whatever folder you add to libraries will become the default TV recordings folder.

I chose “Live TV Recorded” as it matches the other Plex menu Item Live TV & DVR.

Any news from the developers? I also get this bug on Android TV app.
