Server Version#: 1.24.5.5173
Player Version#: plex for android client 8.25.1.28703
tuner: xteve and dizquetv
Using XMLTV?: yes
android device: regular android on beelink gtking
Im getting buffering for 1 second every 3 - 5 minutes in plex for android client 8.25. at least now after the update the streams do not get killed anymore.
it is a codec issue or a new player issue because i can delete the codecs in my plex for windows server and the problem is gone for 2 days but returns.
it is a new player issue because i can revert back to plex for android client 7.31 and enable the old player option which totally fixes the buffering but i can not keep using 7.31 because it has the issue with the streams getting killed after 2.5 hours. however, the old player option is missing from all new versions of plex for android clients after 7.31.
so what i ask is plex staff please add the option to enable the old player in new plex for android versions after 8.25 as an easy temporary fix to tie us over for the holidays until the problem is pinpointed later on.
@BigWheel please can you see what you can do to talk to the devs to try to make this happen as quick as possible? i would really like to watch the christmas channels i have made for my family in dizquetv. i know you dont support dizquetv or xteve but this problem is also happening to other people who are using regular tuner devices as described in this thread too. Live TV buffers every 2-3 seconds in Plex, it does not do that on any other live TV app! Ready to cancel Plex pass!
