New player stops working with last Pie update

[MichaelB]

This is an update of my previous post.
After disabled the new player in the Plex player settings, like I already said, evererything works fine back. But it’s not really true. I was able to play video but only in 2.0

This situation reminded me this post:

Only 2.0 audio using HDMI passthrough

Hello and happy new year. What a big good surprise. Android 9 (Pie) is available since yesterday for the Mibox S This new release adds new audio features. Now it’s possible to set manually the audio capabilities of your system. With 8.0 only automatic settings was available. So I set it manually and now Plex app is able to play AC3 and DTS audio files correctly ! What does mean ? It means that what @anon18523487 said is not really the reality. This is not Plex app which detects HDMI capabilit…

To solve this previous issue I set manually in Android TV the supported audio format and it works fine.

But since the last android TV update it seems that this manually seetings are the issue. I set back to automatic and now the player including the new one can play well all videos with the right audio format.

Hope this help.
