Hi @Luke

I had the same problem as @lorac (Live TV tile stuck on the home screen). It happens when you uninstall the Live TV Plugin before removing the TV Source from Dashboard / Live TV.

Steps to reproduce:

Install a Live TV plugin (e.g. a third-party tuner/provider plugin) and add a TV Source for it under Dashboard -> Live TV -> Add TV Source.
Without first removing that TV Source again, uninstall the plugin that provided it. Restart the server.
Go back to Dashboard -> Live TV. The TV Source is now gone from the list entirely — there is nothing left to delete there. The Live TV tile, however, stays stuck/visible on the home screen.

So the bug is specifically about the order of operations: uninstalling a Live TV plugin before removing its TV Source leaves an entry that's invisible and unmanageable through the normal UI (the tuner config is stored in library.db, but the Dashboard can no longer surface it once its provider plugin is gone) — guide refresh alone doesn't help, since the underlying issue isn't stale guide data.
In my case it was the "M3UTuner" plugin, which I uninstalled before deleting the TV Source.

For reference, here's what the leftover entry actually looks like in library.db (NamedValues table, key config_livetv):

Spoiler

{"BufferLimitInMinutes":0,"WakeServer":true,"TunerHosts":[{"Id":"6f1433c49e2c45889bb8fffb139b9baa","Url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Free-TV/IPTV/master/playlist.m3u8","Type":"m3u","ImportFavoritesOnly":false,"PreferEpgChannelImages":true,"PreferEpgChannelNumbers":false,"AllowHWTranscoding":true,"AllowMappingByNumber":false,"ImportGuideData":true,"TunerCount":0,"ProviderOptions":"{\"RequiredTags\":[],\"AdditionalTags\":[],\"XmlOptions\":{\"EnabledTuners\":[],\"EnableAllTuners\":true,\"NewsCategories\":[\"news\",\"journalism\",\"documentary\",\"current affairs\"],\"SportsCategories\":[\"sports\",\"basketball\",\"baseball\",\"football\"],\"KidsCategories\":[\"kids\",\"family\",\"children\",\"childrens\",\"disney\"],\"MovieCategories\":[\"movie\"],\"ChannelMappings\":[],\"TvgShiftTicks\":0},\"ImportGuideData\":false,\"ParseChannelNumbersFromUrl\":true,\"RefererMode\":\"Both\"}","DataVersion":2}],"ListingProviders":[],"ChannelOptions":[],"PrePaddingSeconds":0,"PostPaddingSeconds":0,"RecordingPostProcessor":"","RecordingPostProcessorArguments":"\"{path}\""}

Workaround for anyone hitting this: reinstall the plugin that you originally used for adding the TV Source and the added entry will show up again in Dashboard / Live TV, delete the TV Source properly there, uninstall the plugin again, then restart the server and the empty Live TV tile on the home screen should disappear.

Hope that helps
