Getting a new issue in that Plex is refusing to play any video with a TrueHD sound track. I’ve tried a few different clients, Windows, Shield & Phone, all the same. I just get the buffering animation endlessly. Logs show nothing. Anybody else getting this? Or anybody got any ideas on where to start …

Same for me on a Shield Pro 2019 with plexmediaserver version 1.25.9.5721. (Betaversion) Cant directplay a file with TrueHD audio. Same logoutput as op, nothing. It worked fine before the update from yesterday.

I opted in Plex for Android TV Beta and also updated it to the latest beta relase. It fixed my problem. So now i have the most up to date betaversions of plex media server and plex player.

I get the same issue today and notice that the Bandwidth went from 20mbps when playing AC3 5.1 to a whooping 400+mbps when playing TrueHD 7.1 as per checking the Plex Dashboard. It should still be acceptable through a gigabit network, but unfortunately, I also get the buffering animation.

FYI, latest beta fixes the TrueHD issue. [image] Release Announcements - Android TV beta Player Betas Plex for Android 9.1.0.31883-beta Available on Google Play , beta access can now be joined (or removed) directly from the Google Play store listing. BETA: …
