PMS and Tvheadend (using LiveTVH) unable to connect

[snowa1]

I have a configuration with PMS 1.16 running on a RPI - no issues, can pick up my libraries from NAS etc. TvHeadend running on another RPI with KODI Libreelec and I can use KODI to view live TV through the tuner on this PI. Can also record and view recordings (made through KODI) using Plex.

However in Plex I cannot view EPG or even get LiveTVH to talk to TvHeadend, bundle is in correct directory, plug in is picked up Plex. Settings in plug-in - user on TvHeadend, IP address to connect to, profile to use etc. But LiveTVH does not appear anywhere in Plex other than in the plug-ins list.

I have been trying to set up Live TV/ DVR using the wizard - does not find tuner on TvHeadend server. I feel sure that I had this working at some point, when all on same RPI - but due to performance have split out.

Hope this makes sense, nothing obvious in terms of errors jumps out from logs

Its working fine for me. Is this a new setup that you have not managed to get working or was it working previously and stopped?

I am having the same problem. I tinhk it might be due to Plex discontinuing plugins.

LiveTVH settings appear in manage / plugins, but the plugin itself does not appear - and indeed there is no longer a plugin menu item for it to appear in!

Same problem here. PMS runs in docker with version 1.18.7.2457. Is this plugin confirmed to work with this Plex version? Also checked with version 1.18.0.1913 -> same problem, LiveTVH menu item does not show up except in the "manage plugins" area.

Plex has removed plugins. This was announced back in 2018.

If you want to use Plex and plugins then you need to use a version prior to 1.18 such as 1.16.3
If you want to access Plugins on your mobile app you will need to use an older version of the mobile app such as 7.23
Be aware that even if you do both of the above Plex has updated their "Plex for Chromecast" app so that you will not be able to cast Plugins any more
