Issues with streaming from Plex

Featured Replies

Hardware: 

 

I have the Shield hooked up to the TV using the monoprice cable linked above.  The TV is hooked up via the same cable through earc to the soundbar.  Shield is hardwired via ethernet

 

Plex is always playing via direct play so transcoding is not happening.  Randomly, the audio cuts out for about 5 secs and the display on the sound bar makes it seem like the audio format was changed by displaying HDMI and then displaying Dolby Atmos.  It is random and doesn't happen in the same spot again.  So if it happens and I rewind to that spot again it doesn't happen.  Its always random.

 

Unfortunately, I have no other dolby compatible devices to try somewhere else.

 

Any help with diag on this issue would be helpful.  I am completely out of ideas with Dolby.

Have you tried only enabling the codecs your soundbar supports in the shield tv audio settings? Auto mode can be finicky sometimes

I checked that but the files I am using only have one audio stream and direct streaming.

Right, but disabling the ones your soundbar doesn't support might keep the shield from 'hunting'
