Device Not Found in Plex (But Still Working) #57

Closed Croq360 closed 3 years ago

Croq360 commented 3 years ago

I went into settings in Plex to disable a couple of channels, but when I got there, I saw this for my TV tuner (the port number of 6188 is correct):

Interestingly, everything still works fine - I can watch live TV and record stuff, and the guide is up to date and goes out the correct number of days.

I don't know how Plex checks for the device being there or not, but I assume it's by using 65001/UDP, something locast2tuner doesn't do.. let's keep this on the back burner for now.

What's odd though is that when I initially configured it, the Tuner showed up fine. Why would it work some times and not other times?

@Croq360 I've had the same problem here for a while - It works fine, but I have that message.

Funny enough I just restarted Plex to see if it would fix it, and Plex upgraded itself so the UI is a bit different from the above screenshot. Same issue, though.

Croq360 commented 3 years ago

Hmm, I'm not on that version, and Plex thinks I have the latest version. Maybe that's the "beta" channel or something? Anyhow, not the end of the world. I should be able to just update my remap.json file to mark the channel as inactive. Just not sure if I'm going to have to delete and reload the DVR/tuner device in order to get the channels to go away.

Interesting - the LSIO Plex container automatically updates Plex on container restart (if available) even when Plex doesn't show a new version.

Afaik, plex reloads the lineup.json on a regular basis, which should allow for updating your channel remap without having to remove and add the tuner..

So, with the recent changes to the Live TV stuff in Plex, I deleted and recreated my tuner just as before (though this time I used Plex's ability to map their listings to my channel numbers). And you get more days worth of listings that way too. It's still showing up (and it's been a few weeks), so I'm going to close this issue.
