The new AppleTV app no longer allows you to “start from beginning” when playing a show that is in the middle of recording! I used to be able to just click on a show that is recording and would receive the popup, now it just plays right from the current time. I now have to wait for the entire show to record to access the show. Bring this feature back ASAP please. I have tried restarting the AppleTV so that is not an issue. On a side note - the new interface is not good. Waaaaay too much scrolling through massive pictures to get to anything I need. Can you maybe release a Plex “light” version that just shows all the basic UI like a few versions before? ---

I cannot currently verify on my Apple TV… the mobile version which uses (mostly) the same codebase has both options for me: ![Resume and Restart in the mobile app context menu](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/5/9/9/599e5db419823f9185a87e01989359f24f05a12e.png) ![Resume and Restart in the mobile app details page](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/b/c/8/bc8705759011af5009a640ec876f3283c1c7a76d.jpeg) # With that, I would assume this should also exist in the big screen apps… ---

Yes - It works on the iOS version and over the web just fine for me. This post is specifically for the new AppleTV update. ---

Does it work for you on iOS? I stopped using my tuner so haven’t tested it recently, so didn’t know they fixed it there. Here’s a thread dating back to January about it: [iOS app always starts Live TV from beginning of recording and can’t skip to live](https://forums.plex.tv/t/ios-app-always-starts-live-tv-from-beginning-of-recording-and-can-t-skip-to-live/935568)
