Plex for Windows Live TV stops after 5 mins

So I’ve been doing a bunch of troubleshooting over the last week, one of my windows PCs on my home network can stream back fine in chrome and the other craps out. Imagine my surprise when I realize it only craps out when I’m not streaming as the home user that is the admin of the Plex server…

Also it’s not necessary to let the stream run for 5 to 7 minutes to see if it craps out, you’ll know immediately after starting it if it’s hosed because the dashboard will show a recording activity but won’t show anybody streaming the channel in question.

It would be great if some other individuals experiencing this issue could see up switching to the admin user fixes streaming for them as well. As I mentioned in a previous post, other devices like Android’s iPhones roku’s and TV apps have no trouble streaming as other home users, it only seems to be the web client bombing out if you’re not the admin user (at least for me).
