When I launch the Phoenix channel, most of the views it's pointing at by default return no results. They do of course show plenty of items in Phoenix as well as BMT. What logs do I need to see why they are empty?

Lately, I've been using this plugin quite a bit; especially since I couldnt get the other plugin to work. I also submitted a request to add icons for this channel instead of the generic icons currently.

Im no expert. But, I'll try to help. Are you certain you're "Connected" and logged into to your PLEX server? Are your TV shows at least showing up (and playable) under the normal PLEX library/TV shows section?
If so, are you CERTAIN you entered the right information when you configured this plugin? IP/DNS name, port, username/password (for your SageTV Jetty web server).

I've just found this plugin and customized the menu to only have the Unwatched TV view, as detailed in earlier posts.
Is there any way to mark items as Watched (in Plex) after you finish watching them? Any other way to interact with the files (Delete them, etc)? [Edited: Read back a few pages and saw your comments about the Plex Channel's limited functionality, so I now know you can't yet mark files as watched or unwatched on a channel, so that's probably the same for deleting media) I'm running this on a FireTV and was hoping to have a single view (Plex + SageTV, in one). Thanks, Paul Last edited by ptaylor; 05-28-2014 at 09:26 PM. |

Suggested Setup Requirements / Troubleshooting Skip/Plex Theater client
This looks like a pretty cool plugin. I've been able to my android and ipad to load up content from sagetv. However, I have 2 questions:
1. Does skip actually work? I tried the 30sec fast forward and it seems any click beyond the first is unstable, leading to video hang (tested on android and ipads). Is there a dependency on VLC version (if so, please let me know what version I should use). 2. I'm able to stream when I access plex from browser, android, ipad, but it fails on Plex Home Theater app on my desktop. I get this error: "Unable to play media Please check that this file exists and the necessary drive is mounted" All plugins on my sageTV server are up to date... Any idea as to cause/resolutions? Thanks!

all files in video recording directories not shown in 'tv shows' section
I have two 'video recording directories' setup in my Sage 'detailed setup' menu:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV\Video G:\TV_Recordings For some reason this Phoenix Plex channel does not consistently pick up all the recordings and list them in the 'TV shows' section. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any suggestions? |

Too dumb to install...
I'd love to try this, but can't get started. All is in place, {localhost} entered and port 8080. But I don't know what to do about user name and PW. Tried my Plex ID and PW, no good. I had no idea that I even have a ID and PW on SAGE. Where can I find it? Searched System Info; not there.
I do get the Phoenix channel under Plex, so it is there, I just can't figure out the settings to kick it off. Sorry to be so basic. Mike |

A bit more
I decided that the PW and ID needed would be that for the Placeshifter server, so I set up those in that dialog and updated Plex server. In Plex Home Theater I get an icon for SAGE Search, but have not been able to get a hit. So it seems that I am closer, but the two are not yet swapping data. If there is a posting of step by step or checklist, etc, I would gladly follow that.
Environment: WIN7-64 Home Premium on a clone PC SAGE server is on same unit as Plex. Plex working fine thru a Chromcast fob, controlled by my cell phone. Comcast wifi/modem combo unit ![]() |

So looked at all SAGE settings and noticed Placeshifter needed port 31099 forwarded to the SAGE server (10.0.0.3). Did so, no change.
I'm really stumbling in the dark here; would REALLY appreciate a bit of help. |

For those that are using this.. what kind of quality are you getting and what settings are you using? I've got the plugin set up and can access my SageTV recordings (usually 1080i recorded via a HDHomeRun Prime in .ts files). I've been tweaking settings on both the server side and the client and the loss of quality is very apparent when it tries to transcode
![]() Is the best option to convert these files using Handbrake or another program after they finish recording, instead of relying on Plex's transcoder? I've been testing the quality both on my virtual SageTV server (4 cores) as well as on a separate desktop with an i5 processor and really don't see a difference in quality or stability of viewing the content. |

Had to let go of SAGE
My last SAGE extender died, so had to move on. Tried WMC to XBOX 360s; terrible. Good at the server, but the extenders were unacceptable. Finally found TABLO, which like Silicon Dust has four tuners and LAN connected, but plays nicely with Plex, using a Tablo Channel. A scheduler, etc, are provided though rather primative as they are a start up finding their way. So a Tablo unit tucked in the garage wired to the LAN plus three Chromecasts again gives me one environment for both OTA recorded and downloaded. Even better: I can play all of it, even live TV, on my 4G phone while sitting in a mall waiting for my wife.

Yeah... I really don't want to start down the path of yet another tv recording ecosystem
![]() Honestly, I'm about to drop cable TV after the first of the year. We don't watch sports, so just about everything we watch can be handled by Hulu/Amazon/Netflix. I may just spend my Christmas vacation converting all my current recordings to .mp4 so Plex plays them over the Roku/IOS devices and be done with it. That and trying to tweak Plex a little more since the wife isn't happy with the layout. Years of SageTV has her and the kids spoiled, especially the 5 year old that can navigate SageTV from the startup menu to all of her shows without being able to read. I definitely have to figure out how to change the library icons in Plex for it to be a possibly replacement for SageTV ![]() |

I am dabbling with Plex since it runs on so many platforms, especially iOS. But I find Plex struggles with Sage recordings, both OTA and HD-PVR. Like you I find that these recordings work much better in Air Video HD.
I watch a lot of sports so SkipFwd and SkipFwdx2 are crucial for me and these just don't work reliably for Sage recordings in Plex. And transcoding to MP4 isn't an option as I watch sports in near real-time.

Think about a Plex all the way system
I agree Plex could be more spiffy, and I have no thoughts on converting old SAGE OTA recordings, but apart from that, I returned three Rokus and went Chromecast all the way. Roku has fast fwd/rev; Plex has actual skips. I see no advantage of Roku over Chromecast and Plex. And it is portable; just waited for my wife in the Kohl's parking lot for an hour and watched some live news (Tablo) and a bit of a movie I had downloaded. You won't get that with Roku. I assume Plex has the same compliment of available channels, though I don't know since I don't do Netflix, etc, just OTA and download.

When it comes to Roku/Chromecast/FireTV, to each his own I guess

Have you tried posting to the Plex forums or had any discussions with Plex or Plex developers on this. I agree with your theory that the transcoder for Plex has issues, the question is "Will they do anything about this?"

The username and password should be the username and password that you use for the SageTV WebServer. (default is sage/frey). You must have Phoenix installed as well (not necessarily the UI, but you need phoenix-core, and you need the Jetty Web Server plugin installed as well)

Any idea on why I can play files through the web browser but not through the plex clients (android or the windows plex clients)?

I think I had to turn off Direct Play and Direct Stream in the Plex Setting -> Advanced -> Network section on Android.
