Just want to say you’re not alone. I ran into a similar problem last week during the first episode. Switched to plex at the start of the year for Live TV and DVR because of the guide data ending for Windows Media Center. My wife started the playback while recording, wanted to start from the beginning, but Plex decided to start from an hour or so into the recording. It seemed that this is where Plex started recording in general. While in the doghouse, I did some digging and found that “starting from beginning” on a recording has been buggy in the past, and I thought it was a fluke since no other recordings had done this. This week she watched it live from the start (while the show was recording) I have not checked the recording yet, but it looked like it added to the DVR library fine.
Plex, there is absolutely a problem with Watching a Show that is recording from the beginning while it’s recording. (See here: Start Watching Recording in Progress from Beginning(Failing)) Please take this seriously and look into it. I would hope that we don’t have to wait until your significant others put you in the doghouse for this to be taken seriously!
Thanks!
