Sparkles on Plex for ROKU Ultra with the new app rollout

PLEX SERVER VERASION 1.42.1.0060

ROKU TV APP VERSION 8.65,10604

The new interface is interesting but there are some playback issues.

With my Valerion 4K Laser Projector, I am now seeing bright spots or sparkles. They are especially noticable during dark scenes. There’s not a lot of them but they are very annoying.

Another way to describe them is like bright points of light or stars.

The videos affected are all X265 HEVC encoded.

So far, I have not noticed the sparkles on my Roku Premiers. Just the Ultras.

This is a very early bug report. I am going to keep experimenting to find out the specific scenarios when the bright spots show up.
