Plex playing shows and movies too fast on Amazon TV App

I was watching shows and movies fine a couple of days ago, but now when I turn on plex on my Amazon TV, it plays all shows/movies in fast forward (seems like 3x-ish) speed, with no audio.

I have not changed any settings. All media was fine a few days ago.

I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, did not help.

If I play the movies/shows on a computer, they work fine.

This is very frustrating.

I appreciate any assistance (my wife does too).

This is from your files or our free streaming? Possible to get the android logs after it happens

@BigWheel Thanks for your reply. I am attaching my network logs from when I encounter the issue.

This happens with my movie and tv show files, I don’t typically use free streaming. Files play fine on desktop, but not on Amazon Fire TV. I can sometimes get a file to play, but I have to downgrade the quality to 720 or less.

I appreciate any assistance with this issue. Let me know if I can provide more information

@BigWheel any thoughts? I’ve seen similar issues from other plex users

But I cannot figure out what changed over the course of a couple days.

i’ll add that to bug report but I am not aware of anything in particular that would have caused it.

@BigWheel A little more information:

This issue happens when Plex thinks it needs to transcode audio because the codec is not supported by the device.

The strange thing is, like I mentioned, plex was direct playing the SAME video files fine a week ago, then suddenly stopped working. The audio type I’m having issue with in particular is EAC-3
