over the past few weeks i have been getting more and more audio video sync issues. I have seen the behavior from the shield and from the plex for windows client. sometimes stopping the show entirely and resuming fixes it (sometimes not). sometimes it occurs after i skip intro. sometimes it just starts occurring in the middle of a show.
This used to happen to me occasionally and stopping and starting the show or playing something else then going back to the show fixed it but now its happening everyday. its not a particular show. its not the video itself (i dont think).
given i have seen the behaviour for years just less freuently i figured it was just some sync glitches that occurs between the server and player. now that it is happening much more often i want to understand what it could be so that i can more easily solve the problem when it happens.
is it just the player. or could server be getting corrupt and its just getting worse. or what could be the items i could look into on it.
while it happens often its not a straightforward reproducible event. same laptop, same video, one play back it’ll not be in sync then i can play it again and it’ll be in sync.
another note, this used to happen much more often on my windows player which is an older laptop and hardly ever on my shield. now it still happens more on the windows player but its also happen more frequently on my shield. from once a month to several times a week.
