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…

And the shield will behave the same. They’re ALL broken. Well broken implies they once functioned and that’s just not true :wink:

yep. but the shield gives me better audio support :slight_smile:

[image] Smokindog: They’re ALL broken Not ALL broken, I just guess I have a special version then. Either that or I’m just an exception to the rule.

Will we ever get resume watching in-progress recordings from where we left off? Currently we can only watch in-progress recording from the Guide and only have option to Watch from Start or Live. Like to know if this ever will be an option in Plex.

I don’t even get this any longer. I used to be able to start watching a recording that had started, and I’d be presented with a “Start from beginning” or “Watch Live” option on my Roku. Seems that has completely gone away now. I’ve tried from all of my Rokus, with none of them working, and the sa…

It’s been >1.5 years and >700 entries on this thread and still not fixed with minimal communication from devs… It ain’t getting fixed. I switched over to a different solution a while back, but still come here from time to time to see if this ever got resolved. It sure seems like they have no intent …

Same here… I switched to Emby about 9 months ago just because of the broken DVR, never looked back other than to monitor progress of the “fix” and every time I do it justifies my move further. I have never missed a recording and can enjoy watching a program whilst it is recording without fail on AL…

This inconsistency is what is driving everyone nuts. What platform is your Plex server? I’m getting the watch from beginning on my Rokus (more later, no one jump on me yet), but my Plex server is Linux and to extent that timeshifting works varies widely depending on the server and clients used. W…

I’m running on Windows 10, Version 1.18.5.2309. I tend to try to update as frequently as releases come out, as I keep hoping something in this will get fixed, but instead it seems to go in reverse. I’m using Roku Ultra 4660X running 9.2.0 build 4807-46. Plex Roku clients are 6.4 build 10. I have…

Another year-old thread of the same issue being ignored by Plex devs.
