Same thing happens to me.
Let's take a look at the logs and see if there's a useful error - perhaps there's some extra info that's being requested from PMS by the newer versions for Android.
Try to play a file and then pull:

LiveTVH logs: ~PMS Plugin Logs/com.plexapp.plugins.livetvh.log
Thanks for getting back to us @taligentx
I looked through the logs and saw that the exo player is throwing an error. When I went into Settings>Advanced>Player and checked the "Use Android Player" the issues was resolved.

Hi,
Just an FYI as it's not an issue but could be fixable. I'm not sure if it was accidental or intentional but version 6.10 and onward of Plex for Android causes an error in playback using LiveTVH. The channel list is accessible bit playing any of them causes an error "playback stopped"
I created a thread for it on the Plex forum and tagged Plex people but it is being ignored so I'm guessing it was intentional
