Plex only outputting stereo since 8/13/19 PS4 update

Unfortunately they got me by the balls since I use Plex Home users. I could force them all to their own accounts, and I still might do that, but it is a lot of work.

Also I am not really sure what else I am going to lose that I use all the time and just don’t think about it. I would hate to cancel and then realize it screws up something I didn’t think about.

But yeah, the moment I am confident that I can make a clean break, I will absolutely cancel Plex Pass. I signed up to Plex Pass for early updates and new features with the understanding that “hey, these new features might not always work right while in beta”.

In no way shape or form am I cool with them breaking stuff that is already working just fine and has no reason to change like this PS4 issue, and the Chromecast issue that is currently going on.

Ugh…after going and looking at the Plex Pass list of benefits page I can almost for sure say I won’t be able to drop it. Losing sync, and premium music library stuff, as well as the photos stuff is going to screw me up if I cancel.

So how are we doing on the “not giving a toss about the PS4 app” at Plex? Still not giving a damn. Ok great, see you tomorrow.

Bye bye plex.
I am looking for an alternative.

Any news on this or a rollback

Please let us know if you actually find one.

Any news on a fix yet?

Hey Plex boys and girls, would have been back sooner but had some ISP issues. Thankfully though unlike you they resolved said issues in a swift and timely manner.

So, what have I missed, have we rolled back, have we had an update or are we still exactly where we all were 7 days ago?

Uhuh, I see absolutely no progress what so ever has been made. Ok, well shall I pencil you all in for the same thing, same time, next week? Great. Can’t wait.

My DTS-HD played fine last night on PS4. I did not test TrueHD or AC3 direct play yet.

Hi all. I have some updates for you. Sony are currently testing a fix for the issue internally and as soon as they release it we’ll begin the process of deploying the update for our app too.

Many of you have asked why we didn’t simply rollback the update and there’s a few reasons for that. Rolling back is not as simple as it sounds. The update was a platform framework update, and it was not clear what issues would arise from updating the app with an earlier framework version. After speaking with Sony we felt it was best to hold off and wait for a fix from them, rather than attempt to rollback to an earlier release that was much slower and more crashy for a lot of you, especially as they provided a short term workaround that worked for most of you.

Thanks for the update. Let’s hope the fix will come soon

On my end, things are back to as they were 1.5months ago. Everything is converted to DTS, even AC3. It’s back to usable at this point.

Plex, are you looking to having both DTS and AC3 direct play via bitstream?

Thanks for the update. Cheers

2 months and ive barely watched plex . its easy to plug hdd direct… least then i get surround sound.

hope fix comes soon… all depends on sonys “test” now… and god knows how long that will be

Ugh is this really still pending.

Prods post with stick… Yup. Still Here. You know what isnt? A fix to this issue. Take it you’re still using the whole “were waiting on Sony” excuse right. Uhhuh sure.

See Above.

Oh but what I would like to add is, BRAVO SLOW CLAP. Latest server update was just gold. Now almost everything that plays in the PS4 APP (audio wise) repeatedly cuts out randomly during playback. I can only begin to imagine what kack handed coding youve done this time. Would you like a Transcoding for dummies book for xmas by chance?

Looking forward to the next PS4 and server updates. At least its never a dull moment using PLEX.
