Plex keeps unpausing itself

I came here looking for a solution for the Plex unpausing issue on my appletv; I’m glad I’m not the only one!

I am still having this issue as well.

there is info here on how to get them. https://support.plex.tv/articles/212639598-apple-tv-logs/

I’m having trouble pausing or fast foward/rewinding videos with DTS audio on Plex/Roku setup. The same video works normally if a AC3 stream or transcoded stream is selected.

Latest version of plex and roku app

Hi @jfi10

I’m not clear if you are having same issue. This isnt a general “issue with pausing” it is specifically about it unpausing and continuing playback by itself after like 10 seconds.

If something weird is going on when you hit pause/FF/RW immediately then i would think a different issue. If you can be more specific by what you mean by “trouble” that is happening it would help understand

By trouble pausing with DTS audio on Plex/Roku I mean, I press the Roku center button to pause, the video buffers (round circle with percentage) then resumes the video, failing to pause the video. If I repeatedly press the pause button the file errors and I am given the option to retry or stop the video.

Same result with multiple files and all the files work normally on LG plex app.

This problem still exists. No fix has been done. Plex is quickly becoming unusable for live TV playback and no one seems to care to fix it. We get updates very irregularly and generally aren’t fixing a lot of pre-existing problems.
