I’m starting to think the live seeking component of this originally posted issue is a server issue (no proof yet however). It is happening across multiple clients. I have compiled an ongoing list of reports of same and/or similar issues, perhaps if folks are having the same problems they can report server versions and client version and help the dev team resolve the actual problem.
Here is what I personally experience this issue on:
Server version: 1.40.0.7775 on Windows
Roku client version: 7.14.5.8943-041961b59-PlexPreview and 7.13.9.8924-fee2a403a-Plex on models 3820RW and 4200X
Android client version: 10.6.0.5141(3aa3109) on ChromecastHD TV and 10.5.0.4996(5d68759) on firestick 4k
Tuner: HDHomerun Quatro Model: HDHR5-4US Firmware: 20231214

Absolute garbage live TV & DVR playback. I’m typing this while recovering from one of the most annoying problems. If it was free I wouldn’t complain but this is something offered that I paid for. This is mostly watching football and mpeg2.
Things that happen when fast forwarding 30 seconds
hangs at 33%. CPU doing nothing. Can skip ahead or back and it fixes itself. Annoying.
Skips ahead HOURS or to live position ruining the game

A comment was made in the ProWeek Fireside Chat that chimed with my main Plex Issue. But first I want to say how delighted I am with the Plex product. Since I was able to move to Fibre to the Premises at both ends I have been marvelling at the value Plex are offering.
My issue arises in the following scenario. …

Yesterday I started an NFL game a little late with the goal of catching up during commercials. Whenever I tried to skip forward, however, it skipped forward from the beginning of the recording rather than forward from my current spot. I tried in vain to determine where I was in the recording each time, but ended up either not going far enough (and having to try again from the beginning) or skipping to…
Plex live TV 720p channels work, but 1080i channels fail after about 2 minutes on a Roku Streambar and a Roku Ultra that are both on Roku OS 12.5, build 4169.

Local Quality: Original
Direct Play: Auto
Allow Direct Stream checked
Allow MPEG2 checked
(All Ethernet connected)
While streaming, the Plex server shows for both Streambars (one on OS 12.5, the other…
