Plex player for Apple TV 8.27.1 FF to Real-Time Severely FU Playback

PMS for Mac 1.32.6.7557
Plex for Apple TV app 8.27.1 ( . . . and likely for many previous versions)
Apple TV 4K (2nd Generation) 64GB

(We can’t run PMS 1.32.7.7621, as PMS 1.32.7.7621 instantly completely breaks Apple TV scrub bar UI when watching OTA Live TV 1080i HD broadcast (ie, most current TV) being recorded—see:

The Apple TV app FU when changing playback position from not-real-time to near or at real-time 100% while watching a OTA Live TV HD (1080i — ie, most current TV) that is being recorded.

These bugs manifest both when only using the FF-10sec action evoked by pressing the Apple Right-Arrow button, and evoking Continuous FF at any rate of FF. Playback halts, both audio and video, and the scrub bar time-position display gets stuck a minute or two before real-time. Sometimes playback will resume if waiting a long time. Sometimes one has to exit playback, play a different show, then re-select and play the original show, but sometimes one has to quit the Plex for Apple TV app and re-launch.

These bugs have persisted for many versions.

From my wife’s yelling, these bugs likely also impact watching OTA Live TV that is not being recording and SD broadcasts, but I don’t have time to do Plex Engineering’s job testing condition permutations.

(I will send logs and databases directly to staff.)
