Plex app on iPhone 2025.31.1(1461)

Live TV has worked on my phone for years, until this year when Plex broke it with the so-called Experience update on iPhone. Live TV works on Apple TV and via every browser in my WiFi network. Just not my iPhone. The Plex iPhone app throws the error: “Error Occurred: a server with the specified host name could not be found”

Since every other device on my WiFi network finds the specified host, it CAN BE FOUND. The old Plex app on my iPhone had NO PROBLEM streaming live TV.

When is Plex going to fix this? It’s reported all over the internet. When is Plex going to honor the the fee I pay for Live TV?
