Server Version#: 1.21.3.4046 Player Version#: Lastest Firestick version 8.13.0.22986 Tuner Make/Model: HD Homerun Extend For the past couple weeks I cannot start watching a current recording from beginning. It stutters. If I click on play from live and let it load up the time shifting I can then go back to the beginning of the broadcast and it plays fine. Here’s an album showing the issue. We only run FireSticks and it’s happening on all of them. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/C3wEvDtGbq1Nytt49](https://photos.app.goo.gl/C3wEvDtGbq1Nytt49) I know I’ve had a HD Homerun software update recently though since this is happening when streaming the file from plex I don’t think it would be the cause. My tuner does allow transcoding on the fly so I tried changing it from original to “highest quality” but it doesn’t matter. Any ideas? ---

Bummer to hear you’re having the same issue but good to know I’m not alone. If you get it resolved let me know. I’ll do the same… ---

Same on Fire TV and Shield. Just when the DVR side works great for a while, something breaks. ---

There is a recent regression we found with the latest release. No update but it is being looked into. ---

It’s spent more time regressed than it has working in the last three years. You would think developers would be pulled from developing new stuff until it was fixed. > [@Start Watching Recording in Progress from Beginning(Failing)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/start-watching-recording-in-progress-from-beginning-failing/278653/1101): > > Two years broke and barely acknowledged, sure. Then it worked for nine months…and now without a seeming shred of QA, it’s broken again, and who knows for how long this time. But hey, there’s loads of s\*\*\* i dgaf about included now… … … . ---
