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…

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…

Sorry, but given the track record exhibited in this thread alone, I wouldn’t trust PLEX to provide effective support for anything moving forward and wouldn’t give them another nickel. 3+ years and nothing but arrogant, dismissive and diversionary responses for serious user issues.

The disappointing thing is that this “watch from beginning” was working not too long ago on the Android client. I’m on Android TV but I think it’s the same client as for Fire TV Writing this while watching F1 qualifying live because I didn’t dare trust Plex to let me start watching later

It worked on ROKU for awhile as well. I actually thought they may have fixed it for good and then BOOM, another random update. This is NOT that difficult if they wanted to fix it. And yes, I’ve done a LOT of multi-platform software development in my days, probably longer than most PLEX developers …

Is this how Plex finds out about problems with their software? Does anyone know if Plex actually looks at these forums and then act to fix problems. This was working on my NVIDA Shield for quite some time, but stopped working over the past few months.

This thread is 34 months old as I type. That’s all you really need to know.

Let’s just call it three (3) years old, and sill not working…
