Well, as the original person who posted this (this thread/post) and after nearly 12months, I thought this could all have been fixed?
I’ve not loaded (or opted) for the BETA version, but just attempted to watch from beginning. Nope, it’s still not working!
I started to record BBC News, using the web client, via channel 101 (HD channel, as apposed to channel 1 whish is SD). I left it 10 minutes and when I went to my TV to see if I could watch from the start, two things I noticed:
-
If I scroll through the guide to channel 101, it does NOT say it’s recording. Only channel 1 says it’s recording. I checked that the setting of “Prefer HD was selected”. This is a problem as the TV is showing incorrect information, but when I check via the web client, it shows both channels 1 and 101 as “recording”, which is just messed up. The TV says one thing, the web client says another!
-
When I tell the TV to watch from beginning (via channel 1), it just started to play from the current time. I was unable to “rewind” (skip backwards) but I had to pause the TV stream for a short while, and then started to press the skip backwards and was able to get it to skip back to the start of the recording. I stopped the TV playback, exited Plex and re-did it again with exactly the same issue and fudging to get it to work
… To top it all off! If I attempt to watch the recording from the browser, I’m not even asked whether I want to watch from the beginning! I can’t even skip backwards to the started of the recording. I tried the pause then skip trick, and nothing. I can’t skip backwards at all.
… And no, I’ve not tried the Windows Client, I lost heart!
Again, I’m not attempting to use a BETA version of the android app on my TV. But it’s been nearly a year since I reported this and it’s still not working 
@elan & @DaveBinM - can it really be 12 months and we’re still having these issues? I’ve not been keeping up with this whole thread as I can see it’s taken many twists and turns. But the original post and the general sentiment remains the same…
A) Can we please put some time into the DVR function and try and at least having it working as most of us expect?
B) (I don’t know if this has happened yet) Can you think about, and look at, a better way to post problems into an issues logging system, e.g. like GitHub, where problems can be logged, categorised and progressed? As posting in the forum really isn’t getting to the problems that some of us are facing recognised.
I have a different thread/post (probably closed now - Commercial Skip - plays TV shows 'double time' on Android TV (UK 1080i)) where there is a playback issue, which is separate to this thread/post, but is still a major issue for the android client. But I’m loathed to attempt to re-post more information (including captured video of the playback fault) as I feel there is no correct place to raise really issues with the software/platform?
