Since update 1.43.0.10492, I’ve been having issues on mainly both Samsung TV plex app and web browser where playing back DVR recording that is in MPEGTS the audio plays before the video loads causing an out of sync issue but audio is faster than video. This issue is no problem on the Plex app for windows. If you skip forward a few minutes the issue fixes itself or if you skip forward, close the video so it logs that you have watched the first few minutes then open it up again, there’s no desync.

This issue does not occur with any other video format watching Tv shows or movies. It seems to be directly related to DVR Live TV.

Any Ideas?

1080p (H.264 Constrained Baseline) =\> Transcode HEVC 14 Mbps

Audio AC3 5.1 =\> Transcode AAC 256Kbps
