I’m still using Plex Home Theater on a Mac Mini because the new Plex Media Player has been too troublesome. I am interested to know if there are any incompatibility issues with PHT with High Sierra. I don’t want to install and find out it breaks PHT. If no one knows, I’ll clone the hard drive, then …

Under preferences in OpenPHT I’ve disabled Hardware Acceleration and while CPU usage has increased there’s been no more freezing/stuttering.

I am still testing (haven’t had much time to watch movies/TV in the past couple days) but so far PMP seems to be working. I haven’t had any video freezing nor audio silence since that first occurrence.

I deleted all my PHT preferences from ~/home/Library and started over. My problems all went away, except that now the up and down arrows on my Apple Remote were remapped by Apple in High Sierra. Need to work on a fix for that and will try Candelair first.

i don’t know what PHT is but I’m using High Sierra (if that makes any difference)?

Problem (video freezing) came back even with HW acceleration disabled - for now my fix has been to go back to Sierra.

I’m having the same issue. PHT on High Sierra, it started after the upgrade and video just freezes while audio continues for a few seconds and then plays fast till it catches up. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to when/why it happens. Would love for someone from Plex to come comment on…

Same issue here… i am surprised that not many people raised this or there are no recommendations how to address it. It’s rather nerve breaking when it happens, and the most nerve breaking part is that it happens in very random moments, without any prior indication that something is about to freeze. …

Plex Home Theater is dead for a very long time. We have Plex Media Player now or OpenPHT (community driven fork of PHT which seems to be dead as well).

The problem exists in OpenPHT and apparently exists in Kodi, too and came up after the upgrade to High Sierra… https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=324588 https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=324416

I am having this issue on a MacMini, using PHT (because I prefer the ease of the interface). TV Shows are on a Synology NAS, that is wired via LAN back to MacMini that has the Plex Server software. Video freezes, audio doesn’t … then video races ahead to catch up. Occurring 2-3 times per show.
