Finally made a decision to try something else when I moved country and my server seemed a bit unstable and the rented house I’m in had no Ethernet wiring. I had a long and happy relationship with Sage through a range of Analog, DVB-T and DVB-S tuners.

Kind of hilarious until you realized its not. If the plex server reboots, you will miss recordings as they say that a service cannot record shows. Even if they just looked at the Service feature of sage. I even suggested to the Plex folks they could probably use some of the sagetv code now that its in the PD. Heck I even have one in my motorhome for recording. Luckily I switched all my tuners to HDHR's many years back. I wouldn't bother testing the DVR functionality, Sage is light years ahead of it. I used the web interface quite a bit when I would travel (you know, when travel was a thing) I like that plex has added the 'skip intro' button on showsĤ. I use the 'sharing' section with filters to create a list of shows that I watch/monitorģ. I use different users for myself, my wife, and my kidsĢ. I keep toying with the idea of using it, but, the limited tuner support is a challenge for me.ġ.

I've been using plex for a couple of years, but, I still haven't done much with the DVR part. My conclusion is their DVR functions are an afterthought, not really part of their design goals. You have to manually start the photo gallery.Īll in, Plex is still missing an amazing amount of DVR functionality that SageTV already had back in 2005 and I personally use constantly. The one thing I do miss with this setup is Plex cannot use a photo library when paused. Just make the Plex TV show library the same folder as the SageTV recording folders. I will keep Sagetv for its DVR functionality and setup Plex for playback of the SageTV recorded shows on its plethora of current clients. That support is pretty good, light years ahead of our Sagetv client support.īut I think I have found a way to combine the two to get the best of both worlds. I only started looking at Plex because of all the Clients it supports. I have been testing Plex for a few months now and have come to this conclusion that the DVR functionality is not ready for Primetime.
