In the advanced settings it is possible to select an option to detect commercials and remove them during the recording.

The films collection is chosen and therefore the recording should be saved on the file storage allocated to the films collection - in my case my FreeNAS server under a dedicated directory for films. One is called simply films and the other Documentaries (Single). Note in the second screenshot Plex has identified the recording as a film and therefore will be placed in one of my two film-type collections. You can see I have chosen to record Ten Little Indians in the first screenshot. It is the primary reason for my purchase of the Connect Quatro and the Plex Lifetime Pass - so everything is pinned on this working correctly! The first screenshot shows the guide and through this interface records are selected. The DVR feature is accessed through the Plex TV guide. This takes a lot of time to accomplish so go for a cup of tea or three. Once past the postcode, the installation is complete apart from the download of guide data - see screenshot 5. I neglected taking a screenshot but basically you need the first three characters of the postcode only (UK) and as previously noted the latest version of Ubuntu Plex server. The next step is the one which caused problems - postcode validation. I had to populate the country field at this point. See the 3rd screenshot.Ĭlicking continue brings up the channel list. Next go to Live TV & DVR in the settings and you should see that Plex has already picked up the Connect Quatro. I then used scp to upload it to my Plex Ubuntu server and followed the simple instructions hereĪfter a reboot it can be seen in the 2nd screenshot above that I have the latest version. To update the Debian package, the easiest way is to click on the Please Install Manually link (see first screenshot above) which will save a deb package locally, in my case onto my Macbook. I got to a postcode validation screen and it wouldn't accept any version of my postcode I supplied. Once that is done you must update your Ubuntu Plex server to the latest version - failure to do so can lead to problems in the DVR installation. The first step in Plex integration is to upgrade your Plex account to unlock DVR functionality.
