I’m using Plex with DVR functionality with 2 HD Homerun Primes. This works great most of the time , but if I tune to a channel that is watched elsewhere or is being recorded, I get an option to “Watch from start” or “watch live”. No matter what I choose, it always go to the start. Somtimes I just end up with a playback error. I’m running plex on Ubuntu 16.04 with

Anyone else have this problem?  
If plex is recording & I use plex web, this happens. Plex server version is Version 1.13.8.5395.

Anyone know a resolution for this?
