I have my Plex media server running on a PC using a Silicon Dust tuner and Apple TV. Wondering if anyone else has had a new problem with streaming live TV in the past few weeks. Trying again might give the spinning wheel, or just fail to launch entirely. It will play a few blips of sound every so often until the screen goes back to the channel list.

But when I choose a program I get the spinning wheel over a black screen. It will show the channel list and guide data. IThe problem I’m running into is that the Plex app on the two Apple TVs refuses to play any Live TV. However, users are still able to play movies, schedule live TV recordings, and playback recordings but just can’t watch anything that is streaming live. This issue popped up after a recent Plex v8.6 update. This issue happens when a user starts streaming a live show, the activity icon shows ‘Recording Live TV- Session’, and then the show icon shows up under ‘now playing’ but only a spinning wheel appears over a black screen.Īfter that, the screen goes back to the channel list and guide. Plex Live TV streaming not working or loading on Apple TVīut recently, many Plex users are facing an issue where Live TV streaming is not working or loading on their Apple TV units ( 1, 2, 3, 4).

What differentiates it from conventional streaming services like Netflix is that users can upload their own digital copies of media, and access it from anywhere using the Plex app. Plex is a streaming service and media server platform that allows its users to manage and share a personal library of TV shows and movies as well as stream over 200 live TV channels.
