In the current iOS app, it is not possible to watch a program in-progress recording live.

On the web, , appletv and the old version of the app you could play the show, it would ask if you want to start from the beginning or live and if you selected live it would do so with playback controls that allow scrubbing back.

In the current iOS app, selecting “watch live” starts the playback from the beginning of the recording and scrubbing forward does not work.

This isn’t just in iOS mobile plex. This live view option is missing on Android Plex

The LiveTV option is all most useless on Mobile without the Go Live option. Plus the Skip forward / scrubbing doesn’t work to get you to the live feed.

Holy crap, I think this is working?!

I’m on iOS 26.5.2
Plex app: 2026.13.0(1835)
Plex server: 1.43.3.10828

I didn’t see anything any of the patch notes, but maybe I missed it?

Can anyone else confirm?
