March 2Mar 2 Community Expert Correct. It states that it did not find a USB based TV tuner. Unless you have one of these, you may ignore it.
March 3Mar 3 Author Community Expert Thanks for the help.I do not have a USB based TV tuner, and no plex is not functioning correctly.Yesterday the connection was lost maybe three times all day.Today it is disconnecting every 15 minutes or so. A LOT.I am at my wits end. I had gotten to the point where I assumed it was a Win11 issue. But I am no longer sure and don't know how to proceed.I have followed as mnay of the suggestions I could find and none of the have helped. But it so intermittant.
March 3Mar 3 Author Community Expert Now after I open unRaid (which I can do) and I try to open Plex and Sonarr, The address line shows thisabout:blank#blockedWhat gives?

March 3Mar 3 Author Community Expert I was able to enter the addresses manually and connected.How would I search for an adblocker, I have not added one myself, but this is a new computer for MicroCenter and I don'e know what was initially installed.I haven't seen evidence of one though.Come to think of it, when I visit a certain website, it always says, "I notice that you are not seeing the ads".Odd
March 3Mar 3 Author Community Expert Solution I think you solved it for me. Though I did not think of it as an adblocker, I have Aura installed and it blocks insecure websites.I unchecked that part and it seems to have worked. I will not count my chickens, but I will now look into making Plex "secure".Not sure what is involved in that, but that is my next quest (if my good fortune continues with this issue).Thanks so much-Rob
