LiveTV stalls when program changes

Server Version#: Version 1.20.4.3517
Player Version#: Version 4.43.4
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun Connect Quatro fw=20200521
Guide/Lineup name: I don’t know how to find this
Using XMLTV?: unknown
Channel number/Name: 5 local Minneapolis ABC

Since upgrading to this version of server, when I click on the channel number to watch the news, every time the current program ends, and switches to a new program, the current show I’m watching restarts at the point I started watching.
Example:
5:15am, start up Plex web page, click on “Live TV & DVR”, find channel 5, hover over the ABC icon and click the play icon.
5:20am, pause live TV, go make a cup of coffee and some toast
5:25am, resume play back
5:30am, the current program ends, but playback restarts at 5:15am. When I try to fast-forward, it goes 5-10 seconds and wont FF any more. Clicking the >| button to jump to next show does nothing. I have to click the X and start a new live session.

This repeats at every transition from the current show to the next show.

This did not occur in the previous versions of the server (1.20.3.3437 or 1.20.3.3483)

Upgraded PMS to Version 1.20.5.3562
Still acting the same way.
Any idea how I can get a previous version of PMS?

I just confirmed this happens even if I don’t pause live TV.

Best results if you use the Plex for Windows client. There is a fix in Plex hosted version of the web app at https://app.plex.tv/ which won’t make it into the server version until sometime in the future.

@pl_5309; Thank you, https://app.plex.tv indeed does not exhibit the issue I reported above.

Installed PMS Version 1.21.0.3616 about a half hour ago and it no longer exhibits this issue.
Thank you.

Looks like I spoke too soon. It works fine unless I pause live TV. In that case, it still gets screwed up when the program changes.

Updated to Version 1.21.0.3711 and it is still happening.

I also experience this
