I currently use Plex running off of my synology 918 plus. I’m not sure if this issue is related but it is the only thing that has changed. I recently upgraded from DSM 7.2 to 7.3 which eliminates transcoding. When playing music through the Plex amp application on my iPhone, songs seemed to skip. They skip as if I were in 1995 listening to a CD that had scratches. All songs playing in order but it jumps ahead every couple seconds. I checked to see if transcoding was turned off and it is. When I download the song, it appears to play without skipping. I can also play it outside of my network on a web browser through Plex and there appears to be no problems. Any suggestions? ---

Go back to a non-beta version of Plex server. ---

I can’t because DSM 7.3 removed transcoding and breaks plex. Beta is the only way it works. ---

I had the same problem on plex amp. I just uninstalled the app and reinstalled and it fixed the issue. Not sure if it was because of an update but it was an easy fix. ---

I’ve been seeing the same thing. I’m running plex on a i7-8700K CPU (Windows 11) with 64 GB of Ram. and 2 - 1 Gig NICS. Started about 2 months ago, and seems to happen regardless of client and whether I’m on WAN or LAN. ---

Same for me, really annoying. I’m not on beta, re-installing the app doesn’t help. ---

Perhaps not the exact issue but… > [@Music skipping a few seconds forward during playback with PlexAmp on iOS26](https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-skipping-a-few-seconds-forward-during-playback-with-plexamp-on-ios26/931958/52): > > I use Plexamp on Android, Plex Windows Player and Music Assistant (using the Plex Library) and all 3 have been skipping (forward/backwards). When I connect Music Assistant directly to my library (SMB) there is no issue with MA, but persists in Plex clients. When I get time I’ll open a new thread. ---

Interesting enough, the issue seems to have gone away. But now my TV buffers on video playback. I reinstalled plex on tv and issues seems to be gone. ---

Same issue.I was beginning to think it was just me. Glad I checked here. Will see if I can roll back server version because reinstalling Plexamp didn’t work. Shame that Plex takes 2 steps forward and 3 back with every release. Only serving to convince me more that I should be looking for alternative / better solutions… And before anyone starts saying it’s better etc. I’ve been a lifetime Plex pass owner for nearly 11 years now. Peak Plex experience was around 4 to 5 years ago ---
