This meant that I had to constantly check that shows were actually showing this week and then check that they recorded. This was a problem that cropped up in the last beta released I used. Meaning that while Plex DVR was supposed to leave the failed recordings in the listings, it didn’t. Lots of them and most annoying for me was that the recordings would fail and then completely disappear. I am a Plex Premium subscriber too and gave Plex DVR a good couple of months try (quit trying February). I haven’t had any problems with my Tablos. Don’t get me wrong, I love Plex and right now my workflow is to record using my Tablos and then rip the recordings to my Plex server for viewing and archiving. Unless Plex adds its own live and time-shifted TV support, the whole situation is going to be a mess for the average consumer.I hope you have better luck than I did. The official HDHomeRun apps for live TV only run on Windows, Android, Android TV, and Xbox One.Īnd no matter what solution you go with, you won’t be able to start a recording and watch while the program is still in progress. PC users can also install third-party Plex plug-ins for live and time-shifted TV-with the added benefit of Roku support-but these are cumbersome to navigate and have longer channel load times than HDHomeRun’s native apps. Apple TV and iOS users can download the third-party Channels app, which does support time-shifting, but these apps cost $15 extra. On Windows, Android, Android TV, Fire TV, and Xbox One, you can use HDHomeRun’s own apps, but those don’t support time-shifting for live broadcasts. Recordings appear within the existing TV and movie sections in Plex’s client apps.īut for live TV, you must use a completely separate set of apps, because Plex doesn’t support live viewing on its own. Plex also remembers what you’ve watched, so you can quickly pick up where you left off. The Plex app has separate sections for TV Shows and Movies, and automatically pulls in thumbnail artwork and descriptions. Recordings funnel into the same system Plex already uses for other video sources, such as ripped DVDs and downloads. You don’t need to be inside the house either, as Plex supports remote access to your server. For recorded TV, you must use Plex’s client apps, which are available on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, web browsers, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox consoles, PlayStation consoles, and even some smart TV platforms.
