I have been having issues with the Plex DVR and starting shows from the beginning while they are recording. Most of the time, it works properly, but about 30% of the time I will select “watch from start” and Plex will instead begin the show about an hour into the program (on a 3 hour show). I cannot…

Same for me. Playing while recording has recently gotten much worse for me. Here are my current issues: Plex on Android tv (Sony) doesn’t correctly show which channel is actually recording, so I can’t even play properly from the guide without starting a new stream and using 2 tuner channels. I hav…

The various problems with watching while recording seem to have been fixed and broken again many times for us over the last couple of years. Every new release is a bit of a lottery. With the current version (see below) it recognises that there is a recording and offers to start at the beginning, b…

I have zero SD channels enabled. I am never started from the beginning of an in progress recording. It is broken entirely. Stuff like this makes me hesitant to ever upgrade.

I haven’t been on the Plex forums for quite a while. While browsing tonight, I was somewhat surprised that this thread is still around. My wife and I watch NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt every night on our nvidia shield in the Living room. The news program airs at 5:30 pm central time and we u…

When I try to join a channel already in progress with the Firestick 4k and select “watch from beginning” it will start it live instead. Channel originally started with Roku. We are so close to having Live TV working great on Android.

That is the problem I think. Plex is so universally adaptable to platforms and configurations that its bugs are very hard to manage. I run both my server and playback on the shield. Your server is on a PC. The codes are different. Maybe even different people writing and debugging them. This sort o…

This is why I am testing out using the HTPC client currently in pre release. The Plex for windows app in my experience always seems to suffer less bugs than other versions, maybe because the software is develiped on PC’s. Hopefully the same will be true for the HTPC client as it matures. Maybe Plex…
