This is an old issue for me, only reporting it now… though I’m confident I’m not the only one.

Server Version#: 1.25.7.5604
Player Version#: 8.30.2.31202
Plex Media Server Logs_2022-03-20_15-16-34.zip (5.2 MB)

Client: Nvidia Shield TV 2015 16GB, latest OS 9.0.1

How to reproduce the issue:

  1. Take any 4K movie that has 2 audio tracks, for example TrueHD and AC3/DTS.
  2. Start the playback with TrueHD track selected.
  3. Switch the audio track to AC3/DTS during playback.
  4. PLEX client will crash/restart itself (yes, it will change the audio track but you have to restart the movie playback)

I have asked a few people (on Shield TV Facebook group) to try it and they were able to reproduce the same issue…

I made a video, happens EVERY time I switch the audio track during playback:
