Server Version#: Version 1.43.0.10467  
Player Version#: latest version on Apple TV and on Web OS 25

The LG G5 TV Does not support DTS, so it transcodes to EAC3. After a minute of playing that fails and buffers. That happens on the Plex at Apple TV 4K (latest gen, 1 Gbit/s ethernet connected) and LG G5 (100 Mbit/s ethernet connected).

The Unraid 7.2.3 NAS is a Intel® Core™ i5-14400, ASRock Z690 PG Riptide, 64 GB Ram (DDR4), 3x Toshiba 20 TB, 2x 2TB NVME and the CPU is literally idle when doing that. I got a plex pass and hw transcoding is enabled.

Every other transcoding action seems to work okay.

Please do not tell me I should buy a new TV or a new player - the Apple TV and LG TV works nice with everything else.

If you need any logs, let me know

I have the same Issue with an 2025 LG OLED since a few Weeks.

In 2025 i hat no Problems with my Lenovo ThinkMini.

I think the LG Firmware 33.30.97 from 04.03. is the Problem…..
