DVR - Watch From Start - Why doesn't it work on Android TV clients?

Record with NextPVR into a Plex library folder. You can watch in Plex while it is still recording. You will need to stop and start periodically since Plex will think that the length of the program is what it was when you started to play. But honestly, I’ve been doing this for 2 years now after I gave up on Plex DVR in frustration. I always have a good experience when I watch a live recording this way (although I’m currently using Jellyfin as my player rather than Plex – only because of the ongoing Plex Android disaster – will probably go back to Plex when they get Android stabilized).

I imagine this approach would work with almost any other DVR software. I use NextPVR because it is free and super dependable.
