So far, it's overly conservative - it never wants to jump over any actual show but it tends to leave a lot of ads in, although this varies. The ad skip feature is nice but is pretty hit-or-miss in terms of correctly marking the beginning and end of ad breaks. It's OK, although there are several tweaks that I would make. Also finding that lots of recordings seem to start a few seconds after the show has begun (which was never an issue with the MythTV DVR system I used to use), so now I tend to have my recordings set to begin 1 minute early.Īs for the UI presentation of live and DVR TV in the Plex app on my Apple TV, I have mixed feelings.

So I used Automator to essentially create a script to kill and restart PMS every morning after I have my Mac scheduled to wake up. At least one of those seems to be because the Plex Media Server on my Mac had crashed the previous night and I didn't notice it wasn't running the next day. Overall, I like it but I have had some teething issues, including a couple of missed recordings. I had tried out Plex DVR a bit in years past, with mixed results. I was probably influenced a bit by your recent recommendations. It has easily exceeded my expectations.Ĭlick to expand.I recently bit the bullet and bought a lifetime Plex Pass and began using it as my OTA DVR in conjunction with my little 2-tuner HDHomeRun Connect. Plex DVR has been working extremely well for me. Well, except for my UHD Olympic recordings which I manually set. With the way it is now, I don't need to mess with anything. But with everything I was recording that would fill up to quick. I was initially going to move things from the NVMe drive.

Then I use two internal platter drives and one external USB 3.0 drive for all my other recordings. And I also use it for my news recordings. I have a 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe drive that is used for my Plex install location. I did change things up with my drives for Plex DVR. And I'm recording twenty to thirty hours of programming every day. My recordings from OTA and cable have been great. I have not even missed using my TiVos these past three months. The Plex DVR has worked great using the ten tuners, in the three HDHomeRun boxes. And the other uses clear QAM so the channels show up the same as my Flex 4K on OTA. With a 4 tuner Flex 4K and two 3 tuner Primes. Click to expand.I've been using the Plex DVR since the beginning of the year.
