End of episodes still being randomly chopped, Audio randomly changes from 5.1 to 2

Plex Players Player Betas

Typically these issues happens when 2 minutes left to stream

The latest beta is better than previous, but still not 100%

Video, last 1.5 - 2 minutes of episodes gets caching/streaming issues, video pauses, skips seconds back/forth, eventually cut stream before finished. This seems to be more frequent if audio is AC3 (5.1)

Audio. On some streams, Video show good all the way, but audio can drop from 5.1 channel to 2. This also is most frequent at end of a stream, but not limited to. Can happen at any time. No it is not happening all the time, and does not happen at same point every time. Next time the same stream is running, it can be perfect, or worse

I’ve noticed this too.

With the latest beta, there are improvements.
I am no longer seeing video stuttering chopping issues,
(instead there can show a dark screen for a long time before the stream ends)

BUT - there are still audio issues (with 5.1 )

about a minute before end of stream, audio gets interrupted for a split second, 5.1 broken down to 2 ch only, and in some cases 5.1 comes back - just before the stream ends

To my knowledge, I only experience these things when in MKV container.

Hoping MKV can get some love and attention soon, - including HEVC direct stream support

(note: I am running Plex Server on WD DL4100, so transcoding powers are limited)
