This is the best method. HDHR Viewer 2 can be updated easily through the UAS V2 interface. UAS V2 is available at https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/202282/unsupported-appstore-v2-as-in-totally-unsupported/p1
Copy HDHRViewerV2.bundle to Plex Plug-in Directory. How do I find the Plug-Ins folder?
Run install scripts included. (Limited OS)
Most Plex clients can't access the Plug-in Settings/Preferences. Use Plex/Web to configure it.
Multiple tuners are supported, and tuners are automatically discovered. Tuners can be manually define in HDHomeRun IP. You can manually list multiple tuners, with space delimited. See examples below.
For full automatic discover (requires internet connection).
Set HDHomeRun IP: auto
Example of manual discover + multiple tuner + automatic discovery.
Set HDHomeRun IP: 192.168.1.111 192.168.1.112 192.168.1.113
Supports only 1 tuner, and tuner IP address have to be manually specified in settings.
Set HDHomeRun IP: 192.168.1.111
Since Plex Media Server 0.9.17.x and above, there was a change in the Plex transcoder which caused playback issue on most clients for first time users. To fix this problem, download a short clip from your HDHomeRun device, and add it to your PMS library, and play it. Now try using the HDHR Viewer 2 again.
Download a short clip from your HDHomeRun device using your web browser:
http://{tuner_ip}:5004/auto/v{channel.number}?duration={time_in_seconds}
Example (tuner_ip=192.168.1.111; channel=2.1; duration=5 seconds):
http://192.168.1.111:5004/auto/v2.1?duration=5
Add the videos to your Movies or Home Videos library.
Play the video and it should generate the required AC3 codec.
Go to HDHR Viewer 2, and try playing a video stream.
Certain android devices will have issue with playback. This is due to Plex Media Server (PMS) not transcoding the ac3 audio stream to aac properly. You can try to change the audio codec listed Android.xml profile in PMS Resources folder from aac to mp3.
