movie audio drops out randomly for 1 second

[justinrh 175]

 This issue happens often when we are watching recorded movies on the Shield.  In case it matters, we usually mute, then FF thru the commercials, then unmute and play.  Seemingly randomly, audio will just be null for ~1s (and you can see the sound bar light go off momentarily to confirm it is not the track but the audio signal).  We mostly watch TS files with Emby.  Here is an example from recorded Avatar last night; I started recording drops at play time 1:36, 1:56, 2:12, 2:29, 2:51.  Any idea what is happening?

I don't recall if we've ever seen it with other apps.

And this is when you are experiencing the audio drops?  It is not uncommon for audio equipment to mute itself when the signal goes in and out.  This is to avoid some rather ugly digital distortion that could happen before the signal is completely locked in.

No.  It seems random, but it may be some sorta predicable delta after the FF.  It feels like an audio buffer thing, but I don't know if there is such a thing.

Can you try updating to the latest version of the sideload build?

We've updated our embedded video player to the latest version. Let's see if it plays better with that. Thanks !
