Server Version#: 1.28.1.6104
Player Version#: latest on Samsung, Roku, Windows
So for many months now I have been unable to play any LiveTV from a remote location via either my Plex Samsung TV app or my Plex Roku app. FYI … it was working fine before this. I also can’t play remote LiveTV in the Plex App on my android tablets. I can play remote LiveTV on on windows either via the Plex web browser app or the Plex Windows App. I can also play LiveTV on my android tablet via the Plex web browser app.
By not being able to play I mean the following: On Samsung the LiveTV channel starts to load (get spinning dial) then disappears, then reappears, but after about 90 seconds puts up an Unexpected error message. All the while the server shows its happily working/transcoding the channel until the player timesout which causes the server shut down the stream/transcode.
The other situations I haven’t investigated in depth.
Of course everything works fine when on a local network (I have the same tv model - one in a local location and another in remote)
Server is on a Nvidia Shield.
I have a couple of existing posts to the NVidia and Samsung categories hoping the Plex folks would investigate and either fix or at least let us/me know its an known issue but haven’t heard anything.
My problem right now is figuring out if its just me ( something weird in my configurations/I missed needing to change) or something that is actually a Plex issue. I can live with waiting for a future fix (even if its hard/complicated and will take some time) but would like to know if its just me or others are having issues.
So is remote LiveTV working for others particularly when Nvidia Shied hosting the server and/or Samsung Tizen is the hosting the player? I would appreciate any help or advice anyone out there can give.
