Latest Beta Appears to have broken most audio codecs?

Plex Players Player Betas
1

I have tested AC3, DTS-HD and TrueHD, all are getting transcoded.

Anyone else seeing this?

Rolled this update back and everything is fine, so definitely this latest release that broke audio.

This is on a shield tv.

Same here. After Uninstalling Updates for the Plex app in the Play Store, Direct Play is functioning again for DTS-HD (I haven’t tried any of the other codecs).

SHIELD TV (2015)
SHIELD Experience 5.02

AAC seems to be the only codec working with this build.

Anyone else testing this and getting similar results?

Yep. Completely broken here too.

Thanks for the report guys. We’re looking into it.

5.4.1 was broken too. Only 5.4.0 works on my Shield, so it’s not just the beta.

Looks like the team might have fixed it! I’ll be home shortly to test.

I just saw it pop up. I’ll try it tonight when I get home.

@Andrroid, have you seen my thread about playback freezing on the Shield TV when watching Rick and Morty?

I remember seeing it briefly. I’ll have another look.

This bug seems to have been squashed with the latest release. DTS-HD, TrueHD, AC3 all passing through fine for me.
