This only applies to the Shield 2019 Tube: I have done an experiment. On my Plex server (a long time without using it!) I have a high bitrate 4K movie library (Blu-ray UHD rips). Plex application plays these movies smoothly, while Emby application does not play them smoothly and when you stop the playback, the application is frozen with a black screen for a short time. Perhaps Plex has found a workaround for the memory leak? Ignore this, it takes a bit longer but you get the same result Edited August 30, 2020 by vdatanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an issue where multiple subtitles are shown on the screen simultaneously. Something I think only seen in Anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to force pass through the audio to the receiver with additional options in the app? I know it might confuse some people and may cause more support issues, but this is a real PITA. FYI, Plex has the same issues on the same Shield/Sonos combination, so definitely a firmware issue. Thanks. @ebr ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would first require research as to how we would do it because this all happens from inside the video player. So there is a cost to it, not something we can just quickly throw in.

AstroGeek 2 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 As someone earlier reported, I'm seeing pausing/stuttering when playing 4k content now on a 2015 nVidia Shield after the 8.2.0 update. Follow this thread for a bit before I reset. If any logs are desired for this, please let me know and I can provide some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hi, Is the 4K movie direct playing on the Shield? What type of audio track was playing. I've got 2015 Shield with 8.02 and have watched a few 4K movies with no problem but maybe there is a difference in audio. So I'll test with your audio track type of possible.

This is starting to sound a lot like Nvidia re-introduced an old bug they fixed a while back with high-bitrate content... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
