Live TV on my Plex Client on Fire TV 4K Stick using HDHomeRun Connect 4K streams the live image at 720p. The server is a QNAP NAS with an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 with 8 cores and 16 threads. No network or performance problems. The HDHomeRun tuner records live broadcasts on Plex DVR at 1080p and recordin…

Tossing my hat in this ring. I can concur that fortunately recording works fine. At least for me, none of the solutions offered above have yet resolved being randomly punted back to the guide while watching live TV. This appears to be an issue with the app itself on Firestick.

Agreed! My experience is identical to yours. Interesting that live tv works flawlessly on my smart tv Plex client and also on my roku Plex client. I concur that this is a fire tv 4k Plex client issue.

I got a new Fire TV Stick 2020 last week. It has this exact same problem: When you select a show being recorded and select “Play from beginning” the FF and Rew buttons are grayed out After playing from the beginning for a couple minutes (random time, not consistent) it goes back to the Guide. Th…

I keep hoping that we will get some visibility on this in Plex development. This is apparently a completely reproducible problem.

You have exactly the problem that many of us are seeing.

It would be great if someone from Plex could acknowledge if they are working on this issue. I also am having the same problem on a FireTV Stick 4K.

Recently switched from Jellyfin/Kodi to Plex and bought a lifetime pass as I wanted LiveTV. Same issue here with Live TV stopping after a few minutes. It’s fine on my iOS devices and laptop, the problem is just on my 4k FireTV stick. I’m using tvhproxy, recordings are fine, it’s just live TV.

This problem is specifically with the Plex client running on the Fire TV 4k. Plex needs to specifically let us users know that they are aware of this problem and to tell us what steps are being taken to resolve it.
