Why does Plex see my tuners as active when they are not and won't record.

I just set up a WD MycloudPR2100 and HDHomerun Extend. Today I decided to try recording something. Plex won’t record and gives the message that both my tuners are in use and there is a conflict. I checked my HDHR system log and both tuner streams ended a long time ago. How can I get Plex to recognize when tuners are no longer in use?

easiest way is restart plex media server.

I just posted on this here earlier today:

Its an existing thread on the issue, doesn’t seem to be isolated to a specific tuner model. I agree, restarting PMS is the current workaround. I only started having the problem recently unless I just restarted so often before I didn’t have it.
