It is the call from the android app to the server.
I believe the android app is treating each “show”, individually as a “DVR event” in the call, which would stop the action and release the tuner,… instead of as a “live event” which should NOT release the tuner and continue playing the channel.
I’m on vacation so I’m hopping off here for a while. But before I went I tested a APK by one of the Developers. It works and it works great. It just has to be released now!
I have been using this software for about 6 weeks now. I can honestly say, for all the hype that comes with it, this is one of the poorest, least equipped services I have seen. It is heavy on eye candy which I can see the appeal of but unfortunately, the actual function is a joke.
To expect us to pay you for this level of service is insulting. I will be using the remainder of this first and only month’s subscription to revert to software that does work.
I am having the same issue here… Running Plex on a Synology DS918. My streams are feeding from xteve and run for 2 to 10 minutes before breaking up… Happens on iOS, Mac App and my Sony Google TV.
Yes, I’ve been saying basically the same thing for 3 years now – The bells and whistles don’t matter when the core functionality isn’t there. Glad you only bought a one month pass. Me, not so lucky …
It’s almost like a social experiment to see how bad something can be and still have people duped into paying money for it.
I’m having the same issue. EPG is not advancing forward with time. And I get the circle of doom on channels where it will just go black and stop streaming. I updated my synology plex server, and that was supposed to be one of the fixes, but it is still happening. I usually have to physically hit stop on the remote, go to the guide and advance it to the current time, and then I can try opening the channel again. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to force plex closed and retry.
I completely upgraded my server. Paid several hundred dollars for a cpu/gpu that said it could handle streaming/transcoding/ the whole 9 yards. But in practice, I seem to have about as many stoppages as ever. Plus, when I open the guide, it sometimes takes literal minutes for the guide to finally populate. I was so bummed when I lost WMC, but they plex promised to make things better, but I feel like it’s just been getting worse and worse of an experience, and I don’t understand how that is possible.
