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…

We absolutely need Plex to work on this! It’s incredibly frustrating as I bought a HDHomeRun just because of its advertised Plex integration. The Fire TV app is inconsistent. Sometimes ill get a stream for three minutes and it will crash out to the main Plex screen and other times I can get a solid …

I have two Fire TV 4k sticks. My Plex runs on a sizable QNAP NAS. Everything plays back perfectly from that server with the exception of live TV. If I use a Roku Plex client, live TV works perfectly. Live TV even records perfectly. Live TV just does not play back “live” for over 5 minutes witho…

So, for whatever reason, I cannot seem to post in any other part of this forum. In any case, I have another interesting Fire TV Stick Plex issue. Has anyone seem that when your Internet connection is out, your Fire TV stick insists your Wifi is out, when really there is nothing wrong with your wif…

I have been having this issue with multiple fire TV 2020 and 4k devices since early november. I have to use hdhomeruns own app to watch live TV now. Kinda peeves me off how it broke a couple of days after I bought lifetime, and there have been no responses from plex on any of the threads.

For those with the Live TV streaming drop-outs on Fire TV sticks - fixes and work arounds are noted here: PLex app very unstable running in the Amazon Firestick

@jg121212 I have watched an SD channel for over 30 minutes in my testing and I have not yet seen the audio sync problems. From what I know, I suspect that with transcode turned off, all but the best wifi connections might manifest lip sync issues to which you refer. I suspect that the reason I am…

Nah. I see the same problem, and I’ve tried with both gigabit wired, and unifi wireless. Some SD are much worse than others

make sure you turn on automatic adjustment, otherwise yes you get screwed up SD

I had automatic adjustment on previously but thanks. After several hours of testing, I can say that live TV is rock solid now and does not bail out to the guide as it used to. For the others here, be sure you are running Plex Fire TV 4k client v8.10.0.21911 (9219e3c2). I believe that the stabili…

That is not a fix for the Fire Stick 4k. It has already been discussed in this thread and causes major audio sync problems on SD channels.
See my other bug report about it here:
