Audio/Video sync issues

Feature Suggestions

Hi Plex Team,



Before I hit you up with a bug, I’d just like to say thanks for the wonderful work and effort that you’ve put into the project. The yearly subscription is a small price to pay for such outstanding software which I use on a daily basis :slight_smile:



Onto the nitty gritty…

This bug has been on the front page (http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/31544-audiovideo-sync-issues/) of the Mac Laika forum for quite some time, and it’s a problem I’ve had since day one. Unfortunately, I no longer run the Laika client on any of my Mac’s because of this bug. There have been some lengthy discussions about the problem, and even responses from dev’s, but it still seems to be an issue for quite a few of us. I only mention it here to hopefully see it up voted and fixed sometime in a future release.



Thanks once again.

Kristijan

This bug is the only thing making me look for an alternative to Plex (and there is not many…). I wish this would be solved because it would make Plex perfect!

+1, very annoying. I’ve got a workaround (made a shortcut to change the a/v sync), but really shouldn’t need one.

JellyUK, I am curious how you set up that shortcut?

Jeff - I found an addressable shortcut to decrease the audio video sync in keymap.xml, tied it to a keyboard shortcut (k, as it wasn’t doing anything else), and then triggered that shortcut to press 10 times when i pressed “Back” on my 360 controller using an applescript. Each press puts the sync to -25ms, and I found the sync to be out by -250ms, hence pressing it 10 times.



The verrrry simple applescript -



tell application “Plex”

activate

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

tell application “System Events” to keystroke “k”

end tell



Bear in mind I know very little about scripting, so it may be easier to tell the instruction to repeat 10 times, but it works for me.

Devs (or other folks in the know), is this being tackled? Since my 10.8 upgrade, I’m also having lip sync issues (I think only with SD content).

+1 this has been a LONG standing bug

Make sure you all up vote the very first post in this topic so it gets noticed :slight_smile:

Now know this happens on some HD and perhaps all SD videos.



Devs, I’d love to help track down exactly what causes this problem, but have no idea where to start. I’m more than willing to do whatever is necessary to help track down and identify the problem so you guys can fix it. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
