Plex Tv Shows Stutter after plex pass update

Server Version#:latest
Player Version#:latest

Running into a weird issue since updating to the latest plex pass.

When starting a tv show, the first episode plays just fine, then when the second episode plays, it’s like the transcoding gets all messed and it stutters till I stop playback and resume.

It occurred last between 3:50 and 4am.

Looks like you have your scheduled tasks to run around that time. It looks to be generating preview thumbnails, which is quite cpu intensive. Change the time for your schedules tasks to run at a time when your not using PMS.

This also happens when it’s not during scheduled maintenance. Using quick sync also.

Just happened again. It’s always the second video and I can reproduce every time. Audio stays in sync but the video lags behind badly. To the point where it just freeze and audio still plays.

Downloaded logs right after it occurred.

I guess it’s something with those particular files in season 2. I refilled the media and the problem is no longer there.

Glad you figured it out.
