We pushed an update to the Plex image so it should handle the permissions automatically. When you get a chance, child you update it, and restart to test?
The --device=/dev/dvb option should always be in the docker run/create
I rebooted the PC Checked plex update and got the new container, The tuner cards were not recognized ran chmod and restarted the container to make it work. the folder /dev/dvb did not have all permissions granted by chmod -R 777 /dev/dvb.

The new image doesn’t make permissions wide open, it adds the container user to the video group which /dev/dvb should be owned by.
What do these commands show on the host?
ls -al /dev/dvb
and
id video
This the permission from the container
root@Plex:~# ls -al /dev/dvb

Alright, that’s why.
Most linux distributions have those devices owned by the video group but I guess omv is an exception. You’ll have to fix the permissions manually every time you reboot. Omv might have a way to set start up scripts, you can contact them about it.
I have only one user User1 and I use the PUID and PGID. This user is in the video group.
I’m looking into the groups to see if there’s a problem.
the folder /etc/group has
video:x:44:User1,plex
I would like to thank everyone especially aptalca and saarg my plex server is working great. For those who want a headless sever, open media vault is debian with a webgui that simplifies all the task ssh, samba shares even NIC bonding and much more. Docker is run through the docker plugin. Trouble free hands off server!!
