1.21 gigawatts!.... All we need is a little bit of plutonium

Are we going Back to the Future with this TF release

For Ariana, I can quick scroll with the Siri remote in the Movies, TV Shows, and Music sections, but not the PVR TV section. If I start something playing, then I can long press the Siri remote to get the channel list to come up and I can quick scroll through there, but it's a little slow and adding wrapping would be nice to get from the top to the bottom quickly. It takes 16 seconds to quick scroll from the top to the bottom of a 238 channel list after starting playback, and about 2 minutes if you try to scroll to the bottom without starting playback first.

On LiveTV with Tvheadend the picture is freezing after a couple of minutes. The audio is still working the channel yesterday where i can repeat this multiple times was "Das Erste". I am happy to provide the log but i believe this can be reproduced on any MRMC installation.

Coming from Plex Addon to Ariana with Plex service... newly added On Deck poster is visible when focused on, but it’s recently added rectangle is blank (gray ticket). If I highlight that rectangle the image appears there and disappears on the On Deck. It’s whack-a-mole with posters.

Other than that Ariana On ATV is looking better and better. I’m looking forward to more Plex-like features being added.

[Itzme1234]

Added a new TV series and 3 episodes that are showing up when I click o the TV Shows filter button, but the series isn’t appearing anywhere on the home screen,the main first screen. reentry into the app or swapping servers isn’t fixing it. Is there a refresh button in Ariana?

BTW the reentry into MrMc fixed the whack a Mole poster issue I posted above.

I have no issues on tvheadend, using it daily on 13e with multiple channels.

Is this a new issue? If you roll back to 3.7.0 is the issue fixed?

Debuglog might help

I have an HDHomerun Quattro and live tv isn’t playing automatically. It starts paused and I have to hit play. Then I have to FF to get back to “live.”

Debuglog? Is it 3.7.1 related? Does going back to 3.7.0 fix the issue?

I finally got to the bottom of the problem I was having with Plex on MrMC for several months. Here's my first post about it. As I suspected, the intermittent failure to connect to Plex has to do with geoblocking in my country. In April there was an idiotic (and, ultimately, failed) attempt to block Telegram (an instant messenger) in Russia during which huge swaths of IP addresses that had nothing to do with Telegram got blocked. Unfortunately, 3 out of 6 IP addresses plex.tv resolves to are on that list.

Here are all of them (from DNSWatch):
52.49.216.28
34.248.104.143
52.48.233.206
54.76.102.118
54.229.133.110
34.252.161.85

Here are the only 3 addresses NOT being blocked (I verified it by checking all 6 against the official block list here: http://blocklist.rkn.gov.ru):
52.49.216.28
52.48.233.206
54.76.102.118

So every time I launch MrMC and plex.tv resolves to one of the blocked addresses (which seems to happen around 90% of the time), I can't connect to Plex. For whatever reason it doesn't happen on any other Plex client I tried. Could you please look into resolving this (maybe by checking the client's IP address location)? It sure would be easier than trying to reverse the decision of the Russian court. I know from reading a popular Russian message board that there are quite a few MrMC users there and for all of them this feature is broken as well (even if they don't know it). Thanks!
