I can't get rid of the "Live TV" library. How can I "force" remove this library? Thank you.

Details
- I've never used Emby's "Live TV" feature.
- I have (3) plugins installed:
    - MovieDb (1.7.4.0)
    - Open Subtitles (1.0.53.0)
    - TheAudioDb (1.0.18.0)
- I migrated some database files, so that might be related.
- In the Server > Live TV menu, HD Homerun shows up as a source.
    - I'm not sure if this is related or what HD Homerun is; I've never used it.
- I've tried to install various "Live TV" plugins, restart the server, uninstall the plugins, and finally restart again. However, this does not resolve the issue.

Sounds like you have it configured.  

But should be per user setting also.

I don't. I never have.

I'm trying to disable/remove "Live TV", not hide it.

Might be the but that came in 4.8 but thought was fixed in 4.8.1.0.

What happens when you try to remove via Library?

Does it have a image?  If so what happens when you delete it?

If you're talking about browsing to Server > Library, "Live TV" doesn't show there. It's only displayed on the home screen.

I don't know what your attached image above is suppose to mean but on a new install no configured Live TV does not show library so I can only guess you have a database glitch and will have to play in your the DB to remove the library or hide it per user settings.

is your livetv unconfigured?

Does the library url look like this?

http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/livetv?serverId=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If anyone else runs into this issue, please let me know how you fixed it. It sounds like a known bug

I'll keep tinkering with it. If I'm able to remove "Live TV" I'll report back.

For anyone dealing with this issue, I solved it by editing library.db. "Live TV" is gone! Here's the command I used:

DELETE FROM MediaItems WHERE Name == 'Live TV'

Same issue here with latest version.
Have unchecked live Tv for every user and it's not gone.

 

Please fix.

@Lukethx for looking into this.
Ps.: back in the days i had it enabled, maybe there was some left over in the db.
I think emby should clean all references when you diable the function (maybe with an question asking to delete all data).

Also removed the "Live TV" named MediaItems from the DB, but it was a pain because it had constrints to other tables.
But after i found those i yould remove them and "Live TV" is gone.

thx
