#Getting Started

1. Installation

Method 1 : Unsupported AppStore V2 (UAS V2)

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

Method 2 : Manual Installation

Copy HDHRViewerV2.bundle to Plex Plug-in Directory. How do I find the Plug-Ins folder?

Method 3 : Scripts

Run install scripts included. (Limited OS)

2. Initial Plug-in Settings/Preferences

Most Plex clients can't access the Plug-in Settings/Preferences. Use Plex/Web to configure it.

0.9.x and above:

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

Up to 0.8.x:

Supports only 1 tuner, and tuner IP address have to be manually specified in settings. Set HDHomeRun IP:

192.168.1.111

Common Issues and Resolution

Plex Media Server (PMS) 0.9.17.x and above

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.

You can download a short clip using your Web Browser:

http://{tuner_ip_address}:5004/auto/v{channel.number}?duration={seconds}

OTA Example:

http://192.168.1.111:5004/auto/v2.1?duration=5

Android devices

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.
