Re: [APKG PlexMediaPlayer v 1.3.1.1] For ALL plex users

Thanks Philippe,

Checking both PMS & PMP logs - on both regular and ac3 test files - I could see that:
* PMS properly sends ac3 to PMP
* PMP => downgrades to stereo when selecting default output
==> plays nothing when selecting HDMI output.

Plex client on my PS4 plays ac3/dts properly, Plex ac3 test files gives proper and isolated sound on the 6 channels.
PMP on Asustor gives a clear stereo, with something weird: Center, FL and FR are OK. RL seems to play on FR and RR seems to play on FL :):) SW does not play anything.

PMP logs tend to indicate that there's a issue with ALSA driver, but I could not spend more time on analysis.

Plex forum already detected such an issue on PMP v1.3, perhaps fixed in a nightly build but I'm not sure.

I will try to run a test (but I will be back only Wednesday evening in my labs and for four days only ... so ... I will try)

BUT be sure to use 1.3.1 and not 1.3.0
... reason : NO version exist for Linux from Plex.tv team ... so it's a port of the Rasbian (RasberryPi) version on Ubuntu then on NAS ... and 1.3.1 changelog speak about solution for playing AC3/DTS on RaspberryPi ... so perhaps also for our version ...
Plex Media Player 1.3.1 is now available for all users.
NEW:
* Desktop web-client updated to 3.6.0
FIXES:
* Reverted QT to 5.7
* Crashing on macOS
* AC3/DTS on RPi

A few extracts from logs, even if I might submit it directly on plex forums. Nevertheless Plex team might not be able to easily tackle this bug given the fact we're on a port.

Listed HDMI devices in PMP are also in the logs:
QVariant(QVariantMap, QMap(("title", QVariant(QString, "HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0/HDMI Audio Output"))("value", QVariant(QString, "alsa/hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0")))),
QVariant(QVariantMap, QMap(("title", QVariant(QString, "HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 1/HDMI Audio Output"))("value", QVariant(QString, "alsa/hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1"))))
Which seems to be correct given what mpv is reporting:

You're welcome, but don't spend your nights on it, you're already doing a wonderful job.
I spent hours on plex forums and I feel like it's an issue of PMP itself, there are still some opened issues about hdmi audio output.

Anyway I'll give it a try to this 1.3.2 just to be sure.

Hi Philippe,

Thank you for the new version.
I have now the image straight off on the other hand I have no sound in DTS.
As soon as I touch the regulations I lose the sound movie on the other hand I always have the sound of the menu.

Re: [APKG PlexMediaPlayer v 1.3.5.1] For ALL plex users (prepare support beta 2)

Post by father.mande »

Hi,

Find in first post an update of PlexMediaPlayer 1.3.5 to 1.3.5.1

THIS update is only to change structure and scripts to support in parallel the installation of PlexMediaPlayer 2 ( 2.1.0) BETA (PlexPass users only)
NO update in plexmediaplayer itself
... add a more clean situation at end or in case of crash or unpredictable error

UPDATE is not needed (just wait for next release) if you don't want to test new PMP with new GUI

@Spartanineo
... prepare detail (hardware used (especially if AVR), logs, settings and movies detail) and post here BUT also try directly on Plex.tv plexmediaplayer forum, to get more expertise and users to compare with your situation
