This happens in both the Plex ROKU and Plex ROKU Preview app. It’s not a one time problem it happens every time I try to watch a live show that is still recording. Once the show has finished recording the play back has no issues.

If I’m recording a show and try to watch it before it has completed the recording it works as long as I don’t pause it. If I pause too long and hit play the show will jump back an hour or more from where I was in the recording. It does this no matter if I tell it to start from the beginning or play it live. The show will jump back an hour or more even if I’m not an hour into the show. If I’m only 20 minutes in the playback it will jump back to the beginning of the show that was on before the one I’m recording even if I didn’t record that show. Once it jumps back to the wrong spot it keeps doing it any time you try to go forward or backwards in the show. The only way around it is to go back to the guide and start the process over again.

Watching the Monday night football game last night I found a new even more annoying symptom. The game had been recording for 40 minutes when I started to watch it. I picked "start from the beginning and that worked. When the first commercial come on I hit the 10 sec fast forward a few times and the recording jumped to the live point of the game. I hit rewind and it went backwards and it moved back over an hour then started going back from there. I tried moving forward and it jumped back to the live point in one move. I exited out of if the recoding and the Roku app and tried watch from the beginning again. Same issue any time I hit any of the fast forward or rewind buttons.
