Live TV streaming suddenly stopped working and gives playback errors.

[mxwzhr 1]

My Emby server has been running on a windows machine for some time flawlessly. Yesterday I attempted to watch live tv and began getting "No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details." playback error. I made no changes. I attempted to reinstall, even on a different machine to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Disregard.... I decided I would restore a backup from a few days ago instead of when I thought it stopped working. That did the trick. Guess something got mes up somewhere.

Is it advised to backup? Is this a setting, automatic or an outside backup you’re doing?

If you have Emby Premiere it would be great idea to install and setup the Backup Server Config plugin.

What is your T: drive?  But am guessing since this error has to do with hardware detection it is probably the key to the issue.

Someone that does LiveTV would have to explain what the ConflictException is.

Ideally you should have your own system backups or at least a system backup of Emby.

Emby's Server Configuration Backup will backup Users, Userdata and system configuration to be able to restore on a new install if needed but it is still a complete rebuild vs if you has a system backup you could restore.
