VBox TV Gateway Forum

Thanks. I didnt fancy doing a factory reset as I would then have to setup everything else again. However I did find details elsewhere on this forums of how to use curl to reboot the vbox so have set my plex server to initiate a vbox reboot every day so hopefully that will improve stability.

Do you mean a reboot? If so maybe I need to schedule a daily reboot of the vbox, but how?

Basically what I want to achieve is to use a nice to navigate EPG to setup recordings of live TV, I do not wish to record in HD, SD will be perfectly fine for me (I would like th...

Thanks. I have a Xiaomi Mi Box but doubt that would cut it as a plex server. I will do some research.

I thought the vbox would be the Plex server? Are you saying you need a separate server? I guess I would also need to pay for a Plex pass subscription to use the recording abilities? I don't know much about Plex.
