Unfortunately this is a known problem that plex has yet to address and even acknowledge. I’m not sure if they’ve abandoned this feature that many of us paid for, but it’s unacceptable. Here’s a list of other issues related to or exactly the same as what you’re seeing I believe. @AuburnEngineer what client platforms are you using?
Server Version#: 1.32.6.7557

Tuner Make/Model: Silicon Dust HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO
A comment was made in the ProWeek Fireside Chat that chimed with my main Plex Issue. But first I want to say how delighted I am with the Plex product. Since I was able to move to Fibre to the Premises at both ends I have been marvelling at the value Plex are offering.
My issue arises in the following scenario. …
Server Version: 1.83.1.4061-d3f45728
Player Version: 8.28 (Build: 7384)

I recently bought a HDHomeRun to use with Plex for Live TV. It’s been working great, and it’s nice to have everything in one place, but I’ve been experiencing some issues with the Apple TV app when watch…
Plex live TV 720p channels work, but 1080i channels fail after about 2 minutes on a Roku Streambar and a Roku Ultra that are both on Roku OS 12.5, build 4169.
No channels fail on a different Streambar and a Roku 3 that are still on Roku OS 12.
Plex settings for video on all my Roku devices:
Local Quality: Original
Direct Play: Auto
Allow Direct Stream checked
Allow MPEG2 checked
(All Ethernet connected)
While streaming, the Plex server shows for both Streambars (one on OS 12.5, the other…
This is a continuation of this issue:
Unfortunately while rarer in x64, this does still occur with the latest NVidia drivers and Plex Media Server version.
I have opened a ticket with NVidia, and received the following message this morning:
Hello Michael,
Thanks for contacting NVIDIA technical support L2 and for your feedback.
We are aware of the problem you cite with our product and the Plex application.
Our engineering team is working with the Plex developer on this issue so the problem…

Player Version#: Roku
I record the morning news and typically start playback during the recording at about 1 hour into the show. This has been working flawlessly for months. Recently the playback will stop (see the % loading wheel) and then resume at a time 10 seconds in the past. This did not coincide with a change in the media server version. I dont know if the Roku client recently changed.
There is a transcoding error when …

Tuner Make/Model: HD HomeRun Connect Duo
Yesterday I started an NFL game a little late with the goal of catching up during commercials. Whenever I tried to skip forward, however, it skipped forward from the beginning of the recording rather than forward from my current spot. I tried in vain to determine where I was in the recording each time, but ended up either not going far enough (and having to try again from the beginning) or skipping to…
The main reason I have plex pass is for the Live TV & DVR and it is has several issues.

First Issue
Can’t watch in progress DVR recording. The issue here is I record something and wait to start watching some minutes into the recording. Usua…
Server Version#:1.29.2.6364
Player Version#: Roku 7.9.3.8721
Absolute garbage live TV & DVR playback. I’m typing this while recovering from one of the most annoying problems. If it was free I wouldn’t complain but this is something offered that I paid for. This is mostly watching football and mpeg2.
Things that happen when fast forwarding 30 seconds
hangs at 33%. CPU doing nothing. Can skip ahead or back and it fixes itself. Annoying.
Skips ahead HOURS or to live position ruining the game

Is it always a massive cluster of trying to be able to FF and REW while currently recording?
I tried tonight and it was like the Plex was haunted. I would try to jump forward 10 seconds and it would jump back a random X minutes.
FF was a fools gambit, it wouldn’t work at all.
I tried playing the recording from live and from the start multiple times and restarted the app.
Basically the app was completely unusable for anything other than live playback (just press Play, don’t try at all to FF o…
I have been running Plex server for many years and have used the Live TV & DVR off an on with an HDHomeRun Quatro. I recently installed an antenna and reconnected my HDHR. Everything went well but when I use a CCGTV it routinely buffers and the Plex app often restarts. I’ve tried force-stopping the Plex app and clearing cache but it behaves the same way. The CCGTV is connected via Ethernet and can play any of my media from the Plex server without issue. The problems only occur with Live TV & DVR…
