From so many posts in the past ever since the Xbox One S app overall so long ago:
"However, the same issues still persist with playback of Plex DVR content:
- If Direct Play is enabled, playback starts fine but then eventually the video stream hangs while the audio stream continues normally.
- The video stream will then continue and appear to fast-forward, eventually surpassing the audio stream placement, and then the video stream will hang again. This occurs continuously.
- If Direct Play is disabled and Direct Stream is enabled, video playback is out-of-sync with the audio stream.
- If both Direct Play and Direct Stream are disabled, the Plex DVR content appears to play correctly.
For reference, my Plex DVR content is transcoded as it is recorded (yes, I have a powerful system), so it is already in the optimized format. I also have commercial removal enabled on my Plex DVR; which appears to work pretty well."
To this day, still neither Direct Play or Direct Stream work with Plex DVR content. With the latest version of the app, both Direct Play and Direct Stream simply say that they are buffering endlessly; never actually playing any content. I love Plex, and have been a Plex Pass user for a very, very long time. But it’s so frustrating that arguably the most powerful Plex player in my home (my Xbox One S) still requires the server to transcode content in order to watch Plex DVR recordings.
Please, oh please, Xbox One S Plex app developer, please fix this issue!!!
