Can't Stream Live TV To Android Phone or Tablet

General Discussions Plex Features

I’ve installed the new updates to the Plex Server and my Android Phone and tablet. Cannot get either to stream Live TV. The channels show up in the app. I will choose a channel to watch and it will tune to that channel but like others have reported all I ever get is the gold spinning circle.
I can steam all my Plex content just fine with no issues from the phone or the tablet. I can however, watch Live TV, with pause and rewind when using the Android Shield TV to watch it on. But never from phone or tablet.
Running Plex on:
QNAP 451+ Version 1.8.0.4109
HDHomerun Extend HDTC-2US-M
Phone and tablet running Android 5.1.1 with app version 6.3.2.1332 using ExoPlayer v2. Tried VLC but it did not work either.

Any help would sure be appreciated…

I’m in the same boat… Can’t get Live TV to stream to my Android phone. (LG G4) I can stream pre-recorded content, look through the Program Guide, review my Recording Schedule, etc. But as soon as I select a channel to watch Live, all I get is the spinning circle. Latest version of PMS (Windows) running and have the phone app updated as well.

Same here. Spinning circle. I have tried it on Samsung galaxy note and android box. Plex Version 1.8.0.4109 and android versions 6.0

I had the exact same issue, then I upgraded my Android device to Nougat - Problem solved.

No Nougat update yet for LG G4… Any know workarounds that don’t involve Nougat upgrade?
