It would be a no win situation for Channels. I feel like integrating Channels into Plex's already unstable and unreliable LiveTV & DVR would only make Channels look bad.

Shouldn't all clients have all the features? They can't even name features to make them understandable ("LiveTV & DVR", LiveTV, & Movies & TV) Should be "Broadcast TV & DVR", PlexTV and PlexVOD. I can't remember how many times the Ninjas have to tell a user to use a different client to access the feature they want. And the scatter brained approach to new features vs. And they seem to rearrange the furniture on a whim (new, unnecessary Roku client overhaul) rather than working on fixing problems. Plex should automatically find your HDHomerun tuner. Plex is being pulled too many directions to be stable. Connect power, ethernet, and antenna to your HDHomerun tuner.

And if they can make it half as reliable as they have the current software it would be awesome.
Add a Roku client and multi-user and I wouldn't need Plex anymore. I'd rather have the Channels crew work to add the video library features for TV and Movies (which seems to be in the early stages) to Channels. I think adding a way for Plex to interface directly with ChannelsDVR (like xTeVe does with IPTV streams) is a way for Channels to increase their subscription numbers to those of us who already have lifetime PlexPasses and it's a way for users to get Plex functionality that their devs might not be able to provide immediately. So I purchased Channels for the year and I'll keep paying for Channels because I see a value in their service. That said,I prefer the layout of Plex, the web hooks that let me use (but I don't think there is anything wrong with Channels.) It's just I came across Plex first, bought the lifetime PlexPass and their current LiveTV&DVR feature is lacking in some ways that Channels already offers/supports. I prefer Channels non-destructive commercial skip, but it's a separate player so when you import ChannelsDVR recordings into Plex, the commercials are still there (unless you create a batch file to ffmpeg the show to apply the cuts and then move the show to a folder that Plex imports). That way, you can continue to schedule things in Plex, have virtually unlimited tuners due to TVE in Channels, you could turn on/off com skip in Plex, use the Plex settings to automatically delete shows once watched, etc. Plex has multiple feature requests regarding using multiple guides (for users with multiple sources) and Channels already does that by default (OTA, cable, TVE) but Channels also has feature requests for "Watch Together" which Plex already has (so instead of pitting the options against each other, you could use both).ĬhannelsDVR already includes an IPTV/m3u generator, it would be perfect to have a ChannelsDVR.HDHomeRun spoof where Plex could pull the guide and stream from Channels. I think it would be a WIN-WIN for both services.
