It hasn’t really improved for me, except perhaps on one device (an Echo Show 5, which I rarely use). On the other two (two Echo Show 8 of different generations), it’s still happening.
I think I also had the problem with the display switching off on one device once, but it went away on its own very quickly.
The Echo Shows have already received several updates, I’ve also updated the Plex server on my Synology NAS to the latest beta version, and even updated the Synology NAS devices to the latest version (which shouldn’t be related to the problem) – no improvement.
The fact that the (second-)last played track remains on the display when playback stops is nice in that it prevents ads from being shown (which are becoming increasingly common on Echo devices lately). However, I’m a little worried that this will eventually cause screen burn-in.
I’m also not sure which software module is responsible for this problem or where exactly it runs. Does Amazon or Plex need to fix this?
You can always see that the display is trying to change tracks (the screen flickers), but the device doesn’t seem to be receiving the current track (for the display – unlike the audio)…
