All of the Live Channels get stuck loading, is this common

Server Version#: Version 4.65.0

I use a Desktop running Windows 10, running to a projector.
I log into Plex through Google Chrome, because I’ve had very little luck using it with Firefox.

My Problem is that all of the Live Channels get stuck loading.
Previously I only tried Johnny Carson (as I haven’t seen it since I was a kid) I’d get less than a minute of play then it would start loading a commercial, or the next seen, and it would never come back on.
Today I tried playing other random live channels, and each one got stuck loading.
None of the shows played.
Has anyone else had this issue.
What can be done about it?
Thanks for any advice

Same problems with Plex loading live channels they keep dropping or won’t load very annoying!

I am having very similar issues with the player crashing and dropping out between shows, etc. I made a post about it here: Live TV streaming w/ Web Player keeps crashing! but sadly, no one has replied or anything, and this has been going on about 2-3 weeks now. At least, I did just see a pop-up message here on the forum website, that they are having some problems, so at least they have acknowledged it, more or less, sort of. I hope it’s something they can fix, the service is all but unusable unless you camp out hovering over the mouse to restart the player constantly if you want to watch more than a few minutes, it’s maddening.

Suggest using one of the full Windows clients, either Plex for Windows on the download page or Plex HTPC (Introducing Plex HTPC!).

They are aware but I thought is was fixed.

Thanks for the advice.
I downloaded it and tried it.
The App needs a lot of work. Scrolling was disabled, Generally it was not great.

Normally I’d say that I’m not going to pay for something that doesn’t work, but
the developers need to eat, keep the lights on, etc.

I’ll sign up for Premium soon. I am hoping that a good portion of the funds will made for improvement. I like the movie selection, and thanks for what you do have up there now, it just needs some work.

Back to the App not being that great, so if anyone else has some suggestions I’d like to hear them.
