Lifetime member here that decided to submit my very first post on Plex forum as I’m completely frustrated with this reproduceable and frustrating bug. Imagine recording a critical sports game, like a playoff run for your favorite team and you want to start the game 70 minutes into the recording with…

I just posted about this in the streaming devices forum, then realized I should post about it here. This happens to me as well on my FireTV, so it appears it’s an Android app issue. It doesn’t happen to me through the web player, Windows app, or on Roku.

Like most live TV bugs, this is yet another one that was submitted years ago, but the higher ups at plex couldn’t care less. The only real solution is something like Channels DVR or Emby. They both work as advertised. [image] DVR - Watch From Start - Why doesn't it work on Android…

I’m seeing this also. The “Watch from start” doesn’t work. However, I can manually go to the start of the show that is recording. Another bug I’m seeing : when watching an ongoing recording, subtitles fails to show at all no matter what you do. I verified that when watching the same channel live, t…

I warch almost all football by recording and then starting to watch after it’s been on for a while. This bug ruins that process by always starting live. Today I installed Channels DVR on Linux Mint (Ubuntu derivative) along side PMS. It was amazingly simple and quick to install and have running i…

Unfortunately, almost anything else works better than Plex DVR right now. Even free alternatives have better scheduling options (manual recording by time/channel and keyword recording) and handle the most basic of functionality expected of a DVR (i.e. watching in-progress recordings). Plex DVR jus…

Hi, so it’s been 10 days and still no official reply from Plex support? Tell me again why you ask folks to pay for PlexPass when the product continues to see the same bugs for number of years now? If this is not the correct forum to file such a bug, then please point me in the right direction.

It’s actually far worse than you even realize. Base on posts in this other thread, the problem has gone unfixed for over 8 months. [image] DVR - Watch From Start - Why doesn't it work on Android TV clients? Live TV & DVR You do wonder exactly how actively it is being inv…

[image] chepme: Hi, so it’s been 10 days and still no official reply from Plex support? There’s no such thing, Plex does not provide support for their products.

I have this issue and it is really frustrating. Skip at all backward to rewatch a play while watching a live NFL game and Plex gets lost. Skip back to rewatch a singer on the Voice while watching live, Plex gets lost. Let a program finish recording, works fine. The issues are only related to wh…

10 Days? LOL. Its been YEARS that this problem has been around. It wont be fixed. Do yourself a favor an do as I did. Move on to a different solution. Posting here asking for a fix is not going to get you anywhere.
