Problem with stuttering und looping using chromecast. Works with Symfonium

Plex Players

There have already been several threads about the problem with chromcasting music under Plex.

some others

In my particular case, I use Plex app on Android Samsung smartphone. When casting mp3/flac tracks to new LG soundbar by using Plex app on smartphone. Plex Server switches from flac/mp3 to OPUS transcoding after about 10 sec playback. After that the music starts to stutter and loop at one position.

I discovered an alternative app Symfonium in this forum and tried it out. It works (great app!)! You can see that Plex server passes original mp3/flac without transcoding to opus. So the music playback works then properly on LG soundbar.

It is certainly also due to the particular newest LG soundbar. But obviously Sympfony, unlike Plex app, is able to (direct) play chromecast cleanly even with new products.

Some ideas for Plex app, will there be an update for this?

thank you!
