[fixmycode]

Is this a new feature request?

• I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

Plex runs a "Plex Tuner Service" process even when the DVR settings are not set up. Users have successfully disabled this process by various means in the past without any repercussion.

Reason for change

Plex users have been asking for this option to be added to the app for 7 years, and would be great to stop caring about a service that we don't use. Some users have reported performance increase and less resource waste after disabling it:

Proposed code change

Using any of the methods mentioned on the threads above, like removing the executing permission to the service, should be sufficient, non-destructive, and easily reversible.

chmod -x "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service"
pkill -9 -f "Plex Tuner Service"

We will not implement this, You can however [customize] the container yourself to achieve this.
