happened around 16:46, where live tv just stops playing, spinning circle.

The Firestick 4K also starts Live TV & DVR in a paused state while tuning a channel. Will also go into a paused state when returning to the guide after initial tuning.

I’ve been trying to get this investigated for a while, but its hard to get timing correct.

I was also asked to keep each issue to a separate topic. I’ve also been told even though fire tv uses android tv, plex considers the issue reports to be two separate things.

I’ve previously tried to piggyback on other topics, but was asked to make individual reports with logs as they happen.

@sixxnet you may want to do the same and create a new topic, and then reach out to plex techs :slight_smile:

I see references to errors like this:
