Guide data for Live TV on new experience broken

Given how broken Plex has been on iOS and MacOS for years, I use Infuse for my file based playback & using Plex for Live TV.

HOWEVER not with the new code base, Live TV is totally broken for many of us:

1 - Guide data only works for the current day, change to any other day of the week and the guide data is blank (can see guide data when using web client). Screen shot at the end.

2 - Live TV is clunky, slow and often becomes totally un-responsive, just pressing the Live TV tab takes 2-3 seconds for any kind of GUI update alone (not even the tab selection updates)

3 - I don’t know what the deal is with the preview box, it mainly doesn’t work, however when it does work you can’t pause or stop it.

4 - Clicking the X to close Live TV playback, doesn’t close it, just goes back to the grid view with the preview running, that you can’t stop without maximising and pressing pause.

4 - PIP is totally broken in Live TV, just goes to a grey box with a spinning circle. Screen shot below.

Sadly I’m neither surprised just how bad this is, nor expecting it to be fixed anytime soon.

Today shows EPG on iOS

Choosing any day in the future, no EPG data

PIP doesn’t work at all
