Server Version#: 1.18.4.2171 Player Version#: 2.12 (14020) I recently purchased an Apple TV 4K. When I forest set it up everything was working fine, then recently the audio fell out of sync. I disabled the enhanced player and that fixed the audio sync problem. After doing some googling I found t…

There have been audio sync issues on all format types for a long time, not specific to tvOS 16, and not exclusive to 4K. We’re working to make all content as in-sync as possible

Sorry, I humbly think the many who have followed this thread will disagree with you there. There was nothing wrong with Plex on Apple TV before TVOS16 apart from the MASSIVE 4K Audio Sync problems. I have used Plex on LG TV, Xbox, PC, Nvidia Shield TV and ONLY the Apple TV was broken and only i…

I agree. All 1080p content works great. Just 4K is the issue when it comes to audio sync alongside Plex’s inability to play Dolby vision (which is another issue that’s over a year old).

If you are also having audio sync issues with infuse your issue isn’t the same as mentioned in this thread.

As Ridley mentioned, people do experience this differently on different hardware, an…

I have this issue with the classic player, the new player, all of it. Turning off match content and frame rate helps but it’s not perfect. I think the only thing that solves it is turning on game mode. This is so frustrating. It’s ONLY an issue with plex.

We don’t have any control over the old player (Apple’s AVPlayer), I’m afraid, so if that is out of sync, there isn’t much we can do about that. We can only control our own player (based on mpv), and how that syncs.

I’ve been dealing with this for months and if you look into it, this has been an issue for well over 3 YEARS now with zero response or help from Plex! Apple TV 4K audio sync issues with enhanced player Now that it’s affecting more people, they’re finally looking into it. Since it’s been broken for…

I only recently switched back to the AppleTV (after being on Sheild and Roku in recent years) having been enticed by the new Discover feature. The deep-linking only available on AppleTV makes the Discover feature in Plex brilliant. Sadly though, after forking out for an expensive AppleTV 4K 128MB (…

In my case, the sync issue happens also with no 4K content, in both AppleTVs 4k I own.

Plex + Apple TV is unwatchable for me
