Server Version#:1.25 and above Happens on any browser. Tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Any Plex server version 1.25 and above has this issue. The only fix is to downgrade the server to 1.24.5. Once downgraded, the issue no longer happens.

Problem seems fixed. Wait and see. thanks @ChuckPa and Plex dev team.

I also just upgraded to v1.27.1.5891. So far I do not see the issue anymore. I’ll be the second to say I believe the issue was solved. I’ll report back here if I see further issues as I test more, but initial tests have been very good. JFYI, You’ll need Plex Pass to download v1.27.1.5891 though …

I can confirm that with Version 1.27.1.5891 the issues is fixed for me too. Thanks to all!

v1.27.1.5891 is for Beta update channel, so I wait for a official update with this fix. The only reference to fix this problem is: “(Transcoder) Audio could drop out partway through playback when remuxing videos with very long keyframe intervals to DASH (#13411)” :person_shrugging:

It’s up to around 15/16 minutes now, but still happening…

Thought I’d check in after a few months. Not at all surprised that this still isn’t fixed. Pretty sad tbh

Per @ChuckPa , the ticket number for this issue is logged internally as #13564. Until a fix that mentions this bug shows up in the release notes, I am not going to consider this fixed.

Folks, Finally getting attention on this. May I please have: Sample of a file which recreates this. PMS server DEBUG logs (MUST have debug enabled while recreating) Player logs (important as well) If playing in browser – which browser & version.
