Hi there, after the last update of the Plex player for Windows (11), I experienced some problems with video playback. The problem is that during playback, suddenly the language/audio track changes and when I want to change it back and click on the playback setting, the whole playback crashes (as s…

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. But if I click on the “shuffle button” for example, when it happens, it comes back to the original language. It’s really weird. This problem is new. I would think it’s related to a +/- recent update of the player. Edit : I’m on Windows 10, player version Vers…

Here is a sample with the timestamp where the error occurred. (Though I don’t think the problem is the file as the errors occur randomly, if you play the sequence again, it works perfectly.) Sherlock - S04E01 - Die sechs Thatchers - 1080p_sample.mkv Google Drive file. …

Hi, I have the exact problem and I can confirm it comes from a recent update of the player. Nothing changes on my side and never got this problem before. [image] Playing crashes after clicking on settings Desktop Players Server Version#: 1.30.0.6442 Player Version#: 1.5…

I don’t have audio track changes, but I definitely am seeing these same issues with subs turning themselves off, and Plex sometimes crashing when I turn them back on. It is definitely recent. Dec 07, 21:00 - Started watching ~45 minute tv show. Subs kept turning themselves off about every 5-10 mi…

Those are server logs, not client logs.

No longer of use, I deleted my logs. And that’s my logs. At 00:52 the problem occurs (language switching) and I “corrected” it by clicking the “shuffle button” then it happens again at 00:55 and I clicked on the setting button to show you (also) the error.

Same problem on Mac-Player-Client: I do experience the same problem. Mac-Client on iMac, Version 1.59.1.3398-dab42972 Language: German prefered language for movies: original (with sub, if language other than EN) Data stored on Synology-NAS - latest Plex-server-software. (local connection via LAN…
